Few figures in jazz history have experienced a rise as meteoric as vocalist Samara Joy. At just 26, she has already established herself as one of the genre’s brightest stars, with a career that is nothing short of sensational. With five Grammys® to her name, including a best new artist and NAACP image award, her rise has been accompanied by rave reviews. DownBeat called her a “silky-voiced star,” while NPR referred to her as a “classic jazz singer from a new generation.” Joy is a masterful interpreter of jazz standards and a rightful heiress of the sound, technique and charisma that defined her jazz heroines. Official Walton Arts Center performance. Scheduled performances: 2027-03-05 7:30PM.
