Samara Joy – Portrait (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Samara Joy arrived fully formed, winning the Grammy for Best New Artist in 2023 before most of the jazz world had caught up to what she was doing. A student of the tradition in the deepest sense, she carries the lineage of Ella, Sarah, and Betty Carter not as imitation but as genuine inheritance, shaped by years of close listening and an instinct for swing that sounds earned rather than studied.
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.
