she is amazing. She went to SUNY Purchase outside of NYC. My son is a jazz drummer and goes there as well. He played a gig with her last year in the city.
Our Bronx girl, 23 year old SUNY grad, winner Sarah Vaughn International Jazz Competition goes down in the annals of jazz history and Grammy history. Brilliant!!! ❤🎤🎼🎶
She is wonderful. I agree with you about the televised Grammys, but the Livestream from earlier in the day had several outstanding performances. Madison Cunningham, Arooj Aftab and Anoushka Shankar, Molly Tuttle. It's wonderful to see Samara receive the attention, will hopefully spur more desire to create songs. You might check out an artist named Laufey, she writes her own material that is like what would be called traditional pop by the Grammys. Plays guitar, piano, cello, and has a wonderful rich voice.
As the song from "All That Jazz" says "everything old is new again." Case in point, "Can't Get Out Of This Mood" is a 1942 song by Frank Loesser & Jimmy McHugh. While Samara Joy sings this song wonderfully, perhaps the most famous recording of this song was Sarah Vaughan's recording of it accompanied by George Treadwell and His All-Stars, Miles Davis (trumpet), Budd Johnson (tenor), Benny Green (trombone), Tony Scott (clarinet), Jimmy Jones (piano), Billy Taylor, Jr. (bass), J. C. Heard (drums) and Freddie Green (guitar), on Columbia records in 1950. That recording is also on UA-cam: ua-cam.com/video/d_0CVKYCoZI/v-deo.html
The industry is _thriving_ outside the mainstream (and even within it). I never bemoan what's going on in music at any time because I listen to so much music, hours every day, and a lot that doesn't even touch the mainstream. So, thanks to technology like streaming music, the entire world of music is open to us. We music lovers will be fine.
You’re spot on with the music today. Samara’s voice is mesmerizing!!! Poised, Sharp, yes all that!!!! It feels like she’s breathing life back into music.
Check out the video for Solitude. It is from great jazz guitarist Pasquale Grasso’s album, but is a duet with Samara. His guitar and her vocal performance are outstanding.
This young lady is absolutely out of words. Control, emotion, skills, melody, and.... joy! She delivers joy for the souls. I'm glad to have lived until know to hear her.
She really is spectacular. I grabbed a ticket for Seattle right before she won big that night, but unfortunately couldn't make it. Planning on seeing her in NYC, and then hopefully in jazz festivals this summer. Her future is so bright; cannot wait to see what she does!
Great video,it’s unfortunate that the majority of the jazz artists only get to perform at the afternoon show and not during the main broadcast,this causes a lot of amazing music to be overlooked.
I didn’t care for the last couple of videos I watched here. This redeemed my faith in the channel! She’s incredible! Sarah Vaughan-Dinah Washington vibes to me!
Seth Haynes thank you for sharing Samara Joy with Michael Palmisano!! I LOVED MP’s review. I two, discovered Samara Joy on the Grammys 2023 and was mesmerized! She is wonderful!! Hopefully a connection from the past into the future.. Patiently waiting on her arrival in the Boston area. She is the Real deal!!
This was the first performance of the pre-Grammy broadcast. She is 23 and has only been singing jazz for 6 years.
Isn’t that incredible?!
Her vocal range, tone, quality...sheesh!!! Haven't heard a voice this rich in a LONG time. Thanks for reacting Michael!
she is amazing. She went to SUNY Purchase outside of NYC. My son is a jazz drummer and goes there as well. He played a gig with her last year in the city.
Her performance was the highlight of the Grammys!
She is a masterclass in jazz phrasing, use of range, breath control, tone all is there. This is jazz...
I couldn’t agree more!!!
Indeed!!
What a voice! ‘Cascades’ yes. Beautiful lady with a stunning instrument. Jazzed up and jumping
Such control😲

That was awesome !! Instant fan of Samara

She is a gem
An absolute diamond in the rough
I just LOVE this little girl! She's spectacular! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
She has been on the scene since she was a teenager and she's always been amazing.
I can appreciate her vocal talents but boy I don't get jazz at all. I was lost.
Another reason why I don’t watch the grammies. If that’s the best they got?, no wonder why she nailed it.

Second this. That performance is perfect.

Michael I don’t think I’ve ever seen you stare like that. You used the word “mesmerizing”. Yes. Indeed.
Great performance! I got big time 'Sassy' Sarah Vaughn vibes from this.

Amo a Samara y quisiera que todos se dieran cuenta lo magnífica que es
It's amazing how convinced she is of her own abilities. It really does shine through.
I didn’t care for the last couple of videos I watched here. This redeemed my faith in the channel! She’s incredible! Sarah Vaughan-Dinah Washington vibes to me!
And why not a little of Ella?
Computer music...perfect description! It's become madness. But Samara is re-inspiring with real talent!
Wow. She is incredible! So much here for guitar players like us - and any musician - to learn from.
Check out her song Solitude with Pasquale Grasso……AAMAZING 23 year old. BTW, she performed this on the pre-show.
First saw her on Emmet Cohen's channel, then saw her work with Pasquale Grasso and its great.
wow a new Ella Fitzgerald !
Absolutely/ Give her a few years and she's going to be really special.
hey sir try to react "Hey barbara - IVOS" 😁
bro listen to the guitar in someone to watch over me it blows me away
Go see her live! Seriously.
You should react to laufey!

Totally agree with you there hasn't been a good album since 89 to me I'm so sorry to be hardh
He’s absolutely correct. Same reasons I don’t watch anymore but this young woman has restored my hope & faith. Because this is what singing is.
