"Misty" — Samara Joy w/ Pasquale Grasso at Keystone Korner Baltimore (2022)
Named “Best New Artist” in the Updated 2021 JazzTimes Critics Poll, SAMARA JOY is a singing star in the ascendancy, with a voice as smooth as velvet and endless charm. The young vocalist attracted attention in 2019 after winning the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition. At 21-years-old, Samara announced her self-titled debut release, which puts her spin on jazz standards from the Great American Songbook. Produced by Grammy-nominated veteran Matt Pierson, she’s joined by jazz guitar virtuoso Pasquale Grasso and his trio (Ari Roland and Kenny Washington) for a release that furthers Joy’s reputation as one of America’s most promising young jazz vocalists.
