Yes!! Very impressive 👏 keep up the Great work! A natural high!!! God bless her vice Career works and life ! 🙏 to Sucess!! Her Music and Singing is every dollar!
How gratifying to see another generation latch on to the best music and carry it forth. Trust that this post will find another 322 likes as it deserves to.
Sam's incredible on her own -- but what I love best is watching her play with other talented Instrumentalist Musicians!!! They way her voice syncopates with each musician - the pianist; then the bassist; then the drummer is so amazingly incredible!!! Can't get that experience using synthesizers!
And she won the Grammy last night (to everyone's surprise) for Best New Artist. Finally after a loooong time...they recognize an artist who doesn't need lots of electronic help, dancers, nudity or bad language to make us watch. Just pure talent and class. Congrats Ms. Joy, hope you have a long and successful career!
Ella is smiling done from heaven on Samara Joy. I just fell off my piano stool at the beauty of Samara's scat and how Emmet and the band get totally into the groove. As The Greaseman at DC101 would've said; "Sweet!!!!
Reading my comment, I must be drunk; wouldn't surprise me, I am drunk. Not proof reading before I post. Should have read, 'Ella is smiling down' and me smiling up from the floor; me not Emmet.
I am so happy that this incredible jazz songstress won Best New Artist on the 65th Annual Grammys on 2/5/2023. God bless her. It is about time that Jazz is spotlighted by this younger generation. It is definitely time to bring Jazz back into the forefront.
I just heard her sing acapella tonight on Tik Tok and was stopped in my tracks. She was singing Blessed Assurance with this incredible voice. After research I found her name which brought me here. New and exciting star - I hope the recording companies don’t ruin her 🤞
I'm an Ella Fitzgerald fan to the point of obsession.... just want to say thank you for this excellent rendition of this song. you and the musicians are excellent.
I am in AWE!!! I am sooooo happy to be able to hear a young magnificent singer Samara Joy!!! I am in my mid forties and grew up listening to alot of jazz and I am so elated to see such a young person who can really sing and love and appreciate jazz music. I hope and pray that other young people will embrace jazz and forget abouti rap.
A signature Ella scat tune performed with optimum precision and yet again, YOU owned it!!! How could you doubt yourself! You have taken the throne of American jazz female vocals!! Sarah, Ella and Nancy are rejoicing in Heaven about you!!!!!
Yes, for an old jazzer like me since the early 50's, a complete breath of fresh air, didn't think we'd ever again hear a singer who'd bother to try, or even be able, to sing like this .. Had thought we'd seen the last of great jazz-style singers, but here is a brand new one ! .. God, I feel I've been reborn, and life's worth living again !
Virtuoso jazz performance requiring memory of chord progressions and inserted accompaniment inclusions. She carries it off with grace and aplomb. Really incredible musicianship.
I am hoping she starts a trend of more artists just making the type of music they love and not trying to fit in with what is popular at the time. It is clearly paying off for her. She is fantastic.
OMG!!! Wow, that was amazing. Love to see the younger generation tackling real music and doing their part to keep it alive. I hadn't heard of the name "Samara Joy" before this video, but I will remember it from now on. It was indeed a "Joy" and Kudos to the trio too.
You have to think that back in the 30s-40s-50s this is what it was like to show up and see Ella and Sarah Vaughn in thier 20s and just be floored by the artistry Just WOW!!!!
You are a revolutionary with a whiff of nostalgia at the same time. I love everything about you and your music! I'm a lifelong lover almost every type of music but especially jazz. So nice to hear a fresh voice. Thank you for bringing this to a new generation.
First of all, I am at work and when you started singing I yelled out "Well SING IT then!" Your tone is everything! Now The thing with Ella's scat solos is that most of her recorded ones are based on bop instrumental solos (Flying Home for instance) where her ear was so phenomenal that she could transpose any intrumentation into vocalization in a way that when you heard her you forgot all about whose solo she's interpolating because it becomes HERS. Now live...I can't give you any clues for her live inpromptu scats...that was otherworldly.
I played this cut for my Jazz band students and asked them how old is the singer? Many said over 35. I then told them she is 24. Samara is the real deal!!
Just saw her at her Town Hall debut which is a few years after this performance. She is a once in a generation talent and it is so wonderful to see a young singer carry this remarkable tradition forward while putting her stamp on it. She sang a number of songs that she wrote the lyrics of herself that were really lovely. She totally commands the stage and has both incredible range, timing and feel. Destined to have a huge career. Try and catch her live!
Wow she is sensational and so young. I enjoy jazz. Samara is probably not familiar with a singer out of Chicago the late great Walter Jackson. I would love to hear her sing his version of "My Funny Valentine" or any of his songs. Congratulations to her and her team on such a wonderful accomplishment as her Grammy and all the other prestigious awards that she has been presented. 🎵
Ella is smiling down on Samara Joy!❤️
Def wow
Yes!! Very impressive 👏 keep up the Great work! A natural high!!! God bless her vice Career works and life ! 🙏 to Sucess!! Her Music and Singing is every dollar!
Yesssssss
Indeed! ❤🎉😊
I can’t stop smiling as well …❤
A young spirit with an old soul. She does all the old jazz greats, justice.
Samara Joy won big at the 2023 Grammys, bringing home two awards for Best New Artist and Best Jazz Vocal Album.
😄😁😆 May Samara delight us for decades to come!
Ella would have definitely approved; she is incredibly talented!

I concur.
Here's a little forgotten tidbit about Ella FitzGerald, she scatted a lot because she simply forgot the words of the song.
And she won the Grammy last night (to everyone's surprise) for Best New Artist. Finally after a loooong time...they recognize an artist who doesn't need lots of electronic help, dancers, nudity or bad language to make us watch. Just pure talent and class. Congrats Ms. Joy, hope you have a long and successful career!
Amen!
I'll second that over and over again!
I'll third that right after :)
Mamma miaaaa che bravaaaa
So well said!!
Can we enjoy, appreciate and recognize a legendary singer in the making. Wow!!

Ella is my favorite singer of all time. You’ve done her proud, mama ❤
Sensational, on fire. Finally a young sister with talent who knows how to sing.
Go, girl! I think Ella would be proud!
Channeling Ella on the mic and Tommy on the piano.🥰
I want a ticket NOW! Best New Artist at tonight's Grammy's is well deserved.
I swear, in an alternate universe, Ella spawned this vocal genius!!
Wow well done young lady and kudos to your musicians outstanding

She swings, she is musical and phrases with Ella.Excellent.A horn players’ sensibilities.
Samara is a gift to the swing era of jazz - she's here, right now saying swing never went away it was waiting to be popped like a celebrationary cork!
I like Samara very much, she’s the real deal! The band is very responsive to the singer’s needs, creating some delicious groovin’
Virtuoso jazz performance requiring memory of chord progressions and inserted accompaniment inclusions. She carries it off with grace and aplomb. Really incredible musicianship.
she spent 4 years studying on a programme that's obviously an incredibly lucrative investment
@@angelicaterry3367going to school does not a musician make. Take it from someone who went.
I don’t think it’s exactly *memorization*. She knows the chord progressions and improvises with them
You really honor Ella with your version... Excellent!!
I am hoping she starts a trend of more artists just making the type of music they love and not trying to fit in with what is popular at the time. It is clearly paying off for her. She is fantastic.

Me neither….so glad I found her. Feel really excited as an old jazz lover and Ella fan
Samara Joy is fantastic . What a great talent. I can`t get enough of listing to her outrages vocal performance!!!!!!
Samara Joy you are honoring the ancestors of jazz!!! What a beautiful rendition of Lady be Good!!!
that scatting is on fire ☄️.

You have to think that back in the 30s-40s-50s this is what it was like to show up and see Ella and Sarah Vaughn in thier 20s and just be floored by the artistry
Just WOW!!!!
Depois de ouvir está incrível interpretação, em pleno 2022, dá para entender, porque ganhou o Grammy.
Falar que mc larissa canta mais que ela, é de uma estupidez.
Sou brasileira e muito feliz por reconhecerem um talento de verdade.
Samara is possessed❣️❣️❣️Ella came down❣️🥰
Wonderful..the lineage continues with spirit and soul and swinging
Wow!!! She’s incredible!!!!
Ella Fitzgerald is proudly smiling down from heaven. Samara Joy is totally amazing!!!
You are a revolutionary with a whiff of nostalgia at the same time. I love everything about you and your music! I'm a lifelong lover almost every type of music but especially jazz. So nice to hear a fresh voice. Thank you for bringing this to a new generation.
I KNOW Ms. Ella has Heavenly goose bumps, bucause I've got them all over right now!! This girl is TRÉ MAGNIFÍQUE!!!
Found her purpose and light to shine on us. What a pleasure to 🎶 listen to. You go girl.
Keeping the greatest music of all time alive and well with pure talent and expression from the soul. What a great performance ! Thank you!

Wow! is all I can say. Why isn’t there more talent like this in today’s world? Spectacular 🔥
I played this cut for my Jazz band students and asked them how old is the singer? Many said over 35. I then told them she is 24. Samara is the real deal!!
When I head this remarkable lady first I thought Ella (who I saw live twice). Wish they could have met in person.
They vibe so well together when they sing 🎵🎶 Awesome! 🎅 🌲 ☃️🔔🕯🦌🎁
Wow!!! She sounds so close to Ella it's unreal. So young too. Brilliant.
Estou encantada com essa voz🥰
Ella is beaming with Joy!!!❤
Uau parece com a Ela . 👏👏👏
I saw Ella in concert more than any other artist/band, and this young lady comes in as fantastic!
Your voice is so beautiful. And you are a beautiful, beautiful woman. Keep up the great work.

WOW!!!!!!! The title of this video is NOT clickbait. Samara nailed Ella!
Simply Amazing!
Excellent scat work! Conversations with the bass and piano.
Wow she is sensational and so young. I enjoy jazz. Samara is probably not familiar with a singer out of Chicago the late great
Walter Jackson. I would love to hear her sing his version of
"My Funny Valentine" or any of his songs. Congratulations to her and her team on such a wonderful accomplishment as her Grammy and all the other prestigious awards that she has been presented. 🎵
