Don’t miss the first UCLS performance of 2027 as we welcome Samara Joy—spotlighting this multi-Grammy-award winning artist’s gifts as a lyricist and masterful interpreter of jazz standards. Not delving into the jazz tradition until a college student, Samara Joy won the 2019 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition during her studies at SUNY Purchase. Once introduced to the larger jazz scene as a rising start to watch, she was heard, by audiences and critics alike as a rightful heiress of the sound, technique, and charisma that defined her jazz heroines—including Vaughan, Betty Carter, Abbey Lincoln, and Carmen McRae. Joy’s albums released over the past few years, which include her self-titled debut, “Linger Awhile,” and “Portrait,” have earned her Grammy Awards for Best Jazz Vocal Album, Best New Artist, Best Jazz Performance and an NAACP Image Award for Best Jazz Album.
