Samara Joy

Samara Joy has a wonderful voice. By her choice of repetoire, she invites comparison with the great singers who have influenced her, particularly Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, who she has also studied intently. But her respectful interpretations balances tradition with the freshness of youth, and more contemporary influences, with the result that her voice has a timeless quality thats pure jazz. Adam Seiff - londonjazznews.comWith a voice as smooth as velvet, SAMARA JOYs star seems to rise with each performance. Although having only recently celebrated her 21st birthday, Samara has already performed in many of the great jazz venues in NYC, including Dizzys Club Coca Cola, The Blue Note, and Mezzrow, in addition to working with jazz greats such as Christian McBride, Pasquale Grasso, Kirk Lightsey, Cyrus Chestnut, and NEA Jazz Master Dr. Barry Harris. People are forever using the word timeless as if it were the greatest praise ever, but in a way, Samaras voice and her music seem to belong to all time, like shes connected to the entire history of jazz all at once - as if she were existing in every era simultaneously, she sounds both classic and contemporary.
