1PRESS COMMENTS
3"Irving Jackson, baritone, who bears individual and recognizable traits of the late Jean de Reszke's teaching in art and diction, and has sung two years at the Paris Pro-Cathedral as well as in the recent season of opera there and at Cannes and Deauville, made his local song recital debut yesterday. He proved an agreeable singer of songs, winning favor by sterling qualities of voice."
4—New York Times.
6"His excellent preparation for the difficulties of the recital platform displayed itself in commanding light in the delivery of his opening group of classic airs. In these numbers he disclosed a voice of splendid quality and compass, a generally fine technical equipment, and an admirable knowledge of style. He displayed an excellent legato, admirable sustained phrases, clear enunciation, and the power to delineate with taste, varying sentiments, and deeper emotions. The German Lieder were also delivered with fine understanding of mood and vocal coloring.
7"To sum up the impressions made by Mr. Jackson, it can be said that he is an outstanding addition to the list of artistic singers now before the public and should fill the hall with music lovers wherever he sings."
8—New York Sun.
10"Mr. Jackson offered intelligence and unusually well produced singing, with style, a well schooled and effective use of his vocal resources."
11—New York Herald Tribune.
13"Irving Jackson is a dignified, sympathetic artist, whose well-schooled baritone was displayed to advantage . . . The voice is obedient and sonorous, the diction is very good . . . an earnest and worthwhile musician."
14—Chicago American.
16"A voice of conspicuously virile quality, and produced with so much more than ordinary authority that the very beginning of his program augured for a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. His diction was excellent and his style communicative, sincere and dignified."
17—Chicago Evening Journal.
