I don’t get to go to many concerts being on a fixed income but when I found out Samara was coming to Ann Arbor I tightened my belt and sprung for a ticket. It was so worth the peanut butter sandwiches for a couple of weeks. She is so warm and her voice is flawless. Some of the notes she hits just make your heart vibrate. She gives so much respect to her accompanists and they give it right back. And she talks to the audience so you learn a little about her life. I couldn’t stop smiling throughout the whole concert.
I would’ve done the peanut butter too… to be there, oh yes 👍🏾
There have been some GREAT ladies of Jazz. Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, and Nina Simone to name a few. We have a new one to add to the list…..”Samara Joy”! Wishing you a long and prosperous musical career!
And she’s what? 23 years old. My God.
Here comes Samara Joy 😊 ❤️ 💙 💜
@@joycesolomon9894 Excellent
@@vblake530530 What avoice
and add to that most recent list Cecile McLorin Salvant, Veronica Swift, Jazzmeia Horn - JAZZ singing alive and well!!
Her range is absolutely amazing.
You know you're good when you come out with just piano,bass,and drums,and you OWN the set!
A vocalist like Samara Joy does not come along often Her vocal range is out of bounds Black Girls Rock Black Girl Magic
I just found out about Samara Joy. What a marvelous sounding voice. I had to go and find out more about her through the internet. I've been listening to her music on a daily basis since.
@SHERYL MOSS, Black Giftedness From God
Samara, upbeat, classy, joyful Joy!
❤
Samara is no match for Fantasia in gospel or Jazz. Female R&B singers like Leela James, Selena Johnson & Keke Wyatt out sing Samara!
Every time I hear Samara sing I grow more impressed with her. A baby boomer here at 70+ years with a mom and 3 aunts who studied piano and voice I was exposed to music 🎼 early in life from classical to big band and jazz. Samara truly is an old soul when it comes to her talent Lena Horn and Sarah Vaughn come to mind. Samara you go and shine brightly you new star in the heaven of jazz. Hmm a little Nat King Cole influence. Loved him too.
I have been on a hunt for every instance of Samara Joy's performances. I can't get enough. I am amazed that she has been singing jazz for just a few years. She has amazing stylistic sensibilities as well as outstanding control of her phenomenal instrument -- the equivalent of an ability to "leap tall buildings in a single bound," i.e., she can smoothly jump from her robust chest voice to heady falsetto and soprano with crystal clarity. And just think, she's just getting started. 🤩💖
The pianist is absolutely loving Samara, to him she is pure joy.😊😊😊😊😊. How absolutely amazing🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Imagine how satisfying it might be to play an instrument really well, but have someone with a voice SO AMAZING, they actually enhance the sound & quality of your instrument! 🤯🙌🏾🙌🏾 He’s great at it, but she’s mind-blowing- and that’s the awe he’s in! ❤
I discovered Ms. Joy tonight for the first time, watching the Grammys!!! Unbelievable Amazing Sensational ❤🎉❤
So glad I watched the Grammy’s to discover this voice. Isn’t it a joy to find a new voice to follow? I’m excited to hear the many interpretations she’ll come up with.
Me too! I'm hooked!
Me too ❤
Me Three or Four !!! She’s amazing 💞🎉💞
I saw her for the first time on the news, about a week before the Grammys. She is truly awesome. Congratulations Samara!
Saw her last night in Toronto Feb 25/2024....Stellar!!!!
Wonderful voice. Lovely that she won the Grammy!
It was the 2023 Grammy's when I was blown away and became one of your fans! I have always loved jazz music but sistah, your voice is taking this genre to a new level. Blessings on your career. Keep singing!! I am a FOREVER FAN!!
Joy is such an apropos name for such a beautiful vocalist with such a humble but enormous talent.
This young woman has it, a true gift, amazing and she has her OWN sound!
I can't believe what I'm witnessing. I'm so incredibly emotional after watching this performance. Looking forward to seeing you in Rotterdam late Feb. you are truly blessed Samara
Wow!!!! So great hearing young people keeping jazz alive. Congrat's Samara. You are blessed....
Talking voice is lovely; singing voice is otherworldly.
Blessed by GOD❤❤❤
Wow! Just... She's taken in Ella, Sarah, Betty... and she's 23. What a musical phenomenon and genius!!!
It's like ALL of them scoured the universe, found her, and said, "YOU!!! You will carry our legacy forward, Chile!" WOWZAH!
She's a gift and a sure shot for an Ella biopic no one sounded like her but now I think we have a winner of a new Grammy and a match!
We have to wait, she’s just starting the career
Just amazing talent
@@Fred__, "wait" for what?
She wows me each time she sings she has a gift and we are blessed to be in the audience..thank you Samara for sharing your gift
This young lady has an amazing voice. She is breaking barriers for new artists coming behind her. She has a voice that is beyond her years. What a treasure. Keep rising to the top Samara Joy.
What a silky smooth voice. So this music still exists today. I thought it's since gone and forgotten. Thank God for SJ. My love is alive and well. Keep moving up old time jazz. It's immortal. Such an enthralling sound. Tnx again SJ.
She makes it look so easy! Almost made me believe I could sing too. 😂 Beautiful, amazing. And seems to be a nice person too. Best of luck.
I wish I could "like" this video every time I listen to it. Here are some more hearts for Samara, Ben, Felix, & Evan for sharing this event with us!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
More of this please! Wonderful to hear a singer that actually sings as opposed to auto tune, musicians that actually play as opposed to pushing buttons, and lyrics that don't consist of vile language. Thank you!
👏👏
@@deborahbrooks7143 ei ellen oh yeah
I am in awe of her. Her voice (and her grace ) is unparalleled. She is an old soul reincarnated in a 23 year old woman.
Yes she is. A very old soul.
Haha....very old soul without experiance 😂 otherwise she would sing with more emotions, not so cold
You rock Samara! Your voice rock Samara! You guys rock! Super cool stuff there!
Even just her speaking voice is totally enchanting
what a JOY it is to listen to SAMARA!
Bass player is absolutely Killing!!!!
Fully agree!!!
She’s all the late greats wrapped in one! God is the only one who passes out this kind of gift🙏🏽
The world was introduced to the smooth sounds of Samara Joy on Sunday night at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards when she took home two Grammys, including the highly coveted Best New Artist!
Well deserved 👏
She was introduced to the world via The Today Show and appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show when she received news of her Grammy nominations. I bought her CD as soon as it was released. I already KNEW she'd win Grammy's!!!
I thank the LORD my parents exposed his children to different genres of great music. Contimued success Miss Samara Joy. The Bronx in the House. 🍁🌻🌷💯
@Claudia Scott, I'm so inspired by Samara's stellar voice and gifted accompanying trio that I will reflect on her voice when I sit down at my piano and create some new music. Thank God for Samara, the Bronx, and New York...and the healing power of music!
Her voice is incredible, but her humility is sublime..
Also Emotions are sublime...boring after 20 Min
Samara Joy you are phenomenal. No one sounds like you. That's why you were nominated and won for Grammys.
...holy moly...we're looking at a jazz legend in the making...
Just saw you win Grammy for new artist. I quickly had to find out more about the artist with such an amazing talent. Your voice is absolutely mesmerizing!
Yeah same thing here.😍
Two awards
This beautiful young lady is incredible and has such a great attitude! We definitely gotta keep an eye on her :)
So encouraging to see real talent being noticed and recognized in this genre of music. Your voice, and style, is truly amazing Holy shhh WHAT A VOICE!!! All the great singers mentioned here are merely great voices along with you. They are in good company. CONGRATULATIONS SAMARA JOY!!
Samara Joy has blown me away,what a beautiful voice ,Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan would be extremely proud of her as I am .
Alright! Beautiful! Love her! Wonderful range. Congratulations! I will be following you, Samara Joy!
It’s good see and hear a different type of go back roots music. Thank you God for this voice.
Awesome! She embraces all of the best of the past.
I found Samara so joyful, beautiful voice, what a range ! So rare to hear beautiful poetry, so softly sung!
Dear Samara - you are fantastic please come to Denmark❤️
Samara. Thanks so much for being the traditionalist that you are. Conserving the art. Beautiful music
Samara Joy brings joy to my heart to know that the "classic jazz sound" will be around forever!!! Wonderful concert; her range is unbelievable!! Great job young lady; stay true to this type of music.
OMG! SARAH AND ELLA INCARNATION WHAT A BLESSING!
this is the moment was a MOMENT for me. that acapella with drum into a crescendo into full band was magnificent.
Samara: What a distinct pleasure it was to meet you on the Jazz cruise and listen to your incredible voice all cruise long. Ella, Sarah, Billie, Dee Dee, Carmen, embrace you. You have already created your legacy dear friend.Your interview with Shelly Berg was wonderful.
Samara reminds me of Nina Simone! What a voice 🙌. God bless you Samara Joy
When I listen to Samara I experience pure joy. ❤❤❤
So much like Sarah Vaughan... absolutely beautiful WOW
Why always this comparing? He is uniqe...! And Sara Vaugh was also the only ine like every human bin! PLEASE stop doing this...its not fair...!
I sincerely hope that our black youth are paying attention to Samara Jay. I want them to understand that Samara is paying respect to jazz music that is the foundation of American music that is a gift from black folks. The rhythms of r&b, gospel, jazz and hip hop are heard in all American music is rooted in the black community. And Samara Jay gives a fresh take on the classics and a nod to our black young artists that you can perform jazz classics and still be fly.
I agree listening to her music all day thanks u tube she has such a presentation
I must say my heart fills up as tears fall it brings back memories of greatness in one she has her own style great back up
She stands on a generation of prayers and consummate musicians ❤
I am a new fan of this gifted young woman. Her song is like her name, Joyful.
It would be remiss of me not to thank the accompanying instrumentalists of Samara. The pianist is out of this world - just great as the piano and the voice dialogues beautifully. The bassist has got this smart soulful sound coming from the back ground. The drummer is not only a time keeper of the ensemble but his playing is magical. Listen to his melodic and soft touch on the skins of the drums with the brushes. He uses the drum-sticks softly, no wild percussive explosions. The whole ensemble is good at what they are doing individually and collectively. I guess it's a case of the whole is greater than the sum of the parts👌👏👏🎵🎶👍 Theo Kgapola Benoni GAUTENG.
Spot on analysis…
This young lady's talent is phenomenal. I am in awe! Praying your life continues to share and enjoy this magical journey. I've witnessed in concert and met ladies of song like Betty Carter, Sarah Vaughn, Gloria Lynne, and Lena Horne. I, too, am from New York--born and raised in Harlem and the Bronx--and a former student of CUNY at Lehman College. So I say, HEY GIRLFRIEND! from your ol' girl from the one and only Big Apple, as I just turned 72 on Sunday. Gotta admit--I didn't see you coming, sweet pumpkin, but I'm sooo glad you're here!!! You will certainly carry on splendidly from whence the greatest have come. I thank God for you!
She's a musical treasure....my ears,my soul thank you a thousand times
She holds a piece of my ❤. How Beautiful she is. What an Angelic Voice. T Y Terrell for introducing her to my musical World 😊.
I was elevated to heaven tonight. God be blessed by this wonderful voice. Perfect creation. Thank you for one more gift, Samara Joy.
This LADY has a VOICE, ❤️
Congrats to Samara Joy on her Grammy win. This concert recording was awesome. I love her style. All of the musicians were on point (piano, drums, bass A++) and I also love that she is from my boro of the Bronx. My hats off to a beautiful and unique young lady that will be around for many years. Respect.
She’s a great singer. Veronica Swift is a great Jazz singer. Both were born into musical families. God bless ‘em!
Congrats on Best New Artist for the year! May you continue to have an incredible and prosperous career. Stay healthy and safe.
Samara Joy blows mehr away .such a great talent
One of my laments in life and being of modest means is that my dream of being present during a performance of one of the great ones as listed in these comments was gone. Thank you Ms Joy I have a new hope and dream that someday I will attend one of your performances.
I love these intimate settings for this type of jazz. This is how it all got started! ❤
I honestly thought this kind of singing was a lost art. I hope she never changes her style. She is so good.
I saw a video of her on Facebook and was immediately hooked on her beautiful voice 😌
JOY! I first heard her voice on DLF-Radio - now i'm "hooked"...
What a JOY Samara Joy brings to my world of music. I am from the era of the greatest jazz vocalists and feel blessed to have had the opportunity over many years to have seen the finest of them in live concerts or in small smoke filled venues . My late husband & I would travel to see them perform in concert, building wonderful musical memories. We filled our music library with all the fabulous sounds of their talents that still thrill us today. How wonderful to add the new gifted talent and sound of Samara Joy. Age doesn't allow me to travel anymore, otherwise I most certainly would attend one of her performances. However, I am grateful for CD's & KZhead which make it possible for me to bring her beautiful voice and talent into my home. Thank You Samara for the JOY you bring.
She "will" have a Long and beautiful career, I'm anxious to catch her in concert when she come to Atlanta.....🌹
The voice of an Angel! So classic, so crisp, so beautiful. Wow!!!!! 💕💕💕
Absolutely AMAZING! Samara is blessed with an incredible voice! Absolutely gorgeous pure tone with a spectacular technique! I love it when she goes from the very low notes to the very high ones. That's not easy, but she does it and everything else effortlessly. Congratulations on your Grammy award, Samara! So well deserved!
Ms. Samara Joy is Truly Blessed by the Good Lord to be AMAZING!!

1/7/24: I'm on the late freight but, ever since seeing her for the first-time last week, I have been scouring KZhead for every performance/interview she's done. I love how she acknowledges the musicians in her band by naming them to the audience. She is captivatingly talented, well-spoken, gorgeous and with a very likeable personality but, most of all, she loves her family and is very humble and sincerely appreciates the success God has blessed her with; I just love her and wish her all the best in her career.
FUGGIN 23YRS OLD?!?!?!? I just discovered this woman, and i cant pull my jaw offof the floor enough after every song i hear...WOW!!!
Over 6 minutes before the music starts..,..but glad l waited!
This young lady, Samar Joy’s voice takes me back years when my entertainment was nothing but jazz. She reminds me of Sarah Vaughan, a little Carmen McRae even Billy. I got to see her here in Kansas City where in years pass you could see jazz artist day and night seven days a week. In this day and age and at her age she is extraordinary. We just don’t get this jazz talent from someone as young she is. I love listening to her!!
When she.sings so BEAUTIFUL AS.CLEOPATRE YES AS CLEOPATRE❤
What a voice... Lady of jazz❤️
Bring the back Jazz it’s a new age beautiful sound.
What a beautiful voice and fantastic performance! This quartet is really outstanding!
We have something special right here smooth and sweet.😊
Perfect Samara and God bless you !
Thats what you achieve with perfect technique.AMAZING¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
The legendary Carmen McRae lives on in this brilliant young singer. The future looks brighter for her being in it! Phew!
I’m literally OBSESSED with Samara!! So refreshing!
2/13/23 I really enjoyed Samara Joy’s concert. She sings like a young Sarah Vaughan,whose voice I adored.
I can't listen to her without crying in rapturous joy!
Samara, we're hearing you; your greatness, all the way down south, here in Trinidad. 🙏🏽🇹🇹
This is beautiful. Thank you Grammy’s for introducing me to this voice!!
3 months later, she's a Grammy-winner artist... Bless ya Samara! :)
Eu a conheci no Grammy 2023!! Maravilhosa! 🇧🇷
🇧🇷😍
