Samara Joy – Linger Awhile (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Samara Joy took home two Grammy Awards for this debut, including Best New Artist, making her the youngest winner of that category in years. The granddaughter of guitarist Eldridge Howard, she grew up surrounded by gospel and came to jazz through Fordham University's Lincoln Center campus, where she studied under storied vocalists. Linger Awhile is the rare modern vocal jazz record that earns its classic comparisons honestly.

Samara is remarkably savvy on TikTok and Instagram, fostering a community of devoted followers through fully organic means. She is poised to be a household name, synonymous with timeless jazz music.
