With five GRAMMY Awards under her belt, including 2023’s Best New Artist and 2025 Best Jazz Vocal Album, there’s no doubt that Samara Joy is the moment in jazz, and she is just getting started. With masterly control of her deep round voice—which, by design, reminds you of Ella, Billie, and Sarah all at once—she proves her chops on jazz standards like “Misty” and brings the timeless longing of the blues into today with new songs like “Guess Who I Saw Today.” Come hear the legend-in-the-making whose “live performances are just as breathtaking as experiencing her on wax” (JazzTimes).
