Samara Joy won her first Grammy at 23, taking Best New Artist and Best Jazz Vocal Album in 2023, the kind of recognition that felt less like a coronation and more like the jazz world finally catching up to something devotees already knew. A direct descendant of the bebop vocal tradition, she carries the lineage of Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald without ever feeling like a museum piece, bringing genuine improvisational instinct to every phrase.
Samara Joy -"Portrait" [Signed CD] Born out of her time on the road, Samara Joy took her touring band into legendary Van Gelder Studios in February of 2024. This record, appropriately entitled Portrait, is a collection of standards (as well as one original) and features her singular voice, alongside arrangements from this tight-knit young group. The recording tells the story of the community she's created with a new generation of young players and is evocative of the energy of her incredible live show. Indie Exclusive CD with signed booklet. Limited Edition.
