I have wondered if any woman would take the torch from Ella, Etta, Dinah or Sarah. Well, this magnificent young lady has picked up that torch and is running with it. She is a generational talent.
I think that torch has been taken up by several great female jazz vocalists since the 1980s, including Carol Kidd, Diane Schuur, Dianne Reeves, Cassandra Wilson, Eliane Elias, Nneena Freelon, Carmen Lundy, Carmen Bradford, Eva Cassidy, Christy Baron, Sarah K., Diana Krall, Jane Monheit, Tierney Sutton, Valerie Joyce, Stacey Kent, Cheryl Porter, Catherine Russell, Angela Hagenbach, Roberta Gambarini, and Cecile McLorin Salvant. They just haven't received much coverage from the mainstream music press. Certainly Samara Joy follows in that proud tradition and is carrying the torch forward.
Samara's velvety voice takes us back to the early days of jazz with the likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday and zooms us back into the present and into the future. She's an old soul reborn. Her sweet voice fits like a glove with this genre
How in the WORLD did this child do that "packed up all his bags" run?! I used to be a choir director and STILL cannot do it that smoothly. Baby, you better SANG!!!
Can't count how many times i have listened to this one. Easily the best contemporary voice and this recording is just sensational. Huge fan of both her and Emmet.
I hadn't really thought about Jazz in a long time but, 'WOW!!!" SAMARA JOY and Emmet on piano woke me up real quick!!! Her voice is AMAZING!!!! She is Greatness in the making and I'm so happy to be a part of the generation to hear her beautiful voice live!!!!😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩❤❤❤
Samara is very good here, but she has gotten even better since then. The trio is also very good, especially Emmet Cohen on piano. I haven't heard this trio previously, but intend to check out more of their recordings.
Samara sings in the effortless, joyful, soulful way of Billie Holiday- she doesn't sound like Lady Day, but she's in that Zone to my ear- her voice has a maturity too. Pleasant to see a young woman wearing ordinary clothing, not gyrating in front of a line of similarly half naked, over made up so-called, back-up singers. This is Music. Everybody "relates", look relaxed and I can't express myself well- they "just DO IT" - she will go far with her controlled voice, octave? range- and lovely tone- I LOVE MUSIC, ALL GENRES BUT I CAN'T WRITE ABOUT IT WITH THE CORRECT TERMS! These fine folks moved me though, esp Samara- such a pretty name...Namaste. New fan from Canada.
Great song for her wonderful voice ^_^ I ( a male ) might do this song I’ve just decided! Change ‘man’ to ‘girl’ etc. I’m a huge Billie Holiday fan so this is the second best version I’ve heard!

Most definitely
Je pense que ç est là renaissance de toutes ses grandes voix,avec une grande classe et plein d humilité. Merci,SAMARA.

For me, she reminds me more to Billie Holiday. For no doubt, she's a great talent.
Somewhere Ms. Holiday is smiling proudly
She is a wonder!
Perfect, glad I discovered this singer,
she certainly brings me joy and what
a great band. The only thing missing
is Lester Young.
IS NOT A BAND....IS A TRIO

Chills came over my entire being to hear Samara sing this song .Thankyou God for this great talent
such JOY (pun intended) to discover Samara's voice and its timeless quality... alongside with Emmet's music & friends.
She is so amazing. Thank you
Great, a new Diva of jazz ^^ She's brilliant!
Don't think I ever complimented Russell Hall on his bass playing. I'll say, Hall's the best bass player I've ever heard.
I am grateful to be able to hear this woman sing her art!
Stunning
