Ryan delivers thought provoking, dynamic and spirited shows. Meisel originals express the story of his lifelong musical journey.

A postmodern jazzman, whether he’s playing bari, tenor, alto or soprano sax, Ryan can captivate an audience with his sweet, sinuous tone but then excite with his burly edginess.

Performing with his classic Quartet, (Sax/Guitar/Bass/Drums) Ryan’s brand of fiery saxophone playing pushes his group’s improvisational limits.

Ryan’s depth of work pays tribute to the authentic sounds of New Orleans Traditional Jazz, Blues, Swing, Hard-Bop, Avant-Garde and Fusion.

The quartet will be performing music from their latest Vinyl Albums "Jarred" & "Spirit Dance."
