Jackie Allen is a Chicago-based jazz singer who has performed steadily, and she has recorded since 1994.

Originally from Wisconsin, Jackie Allen is also a music teacher, serving on the faculty of the Chicago Center for the Performing Arts at Roosevelt University and having taught at Elmhurst College, Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music, Bloom School of Jazz and the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music in Milwaukee.
