Healdsburg Jazz Festival Starring Samara Joy

The 2023 Healdsburg Jazz Festival with Samara Joy

At only 23, vocalist Samara Joy has established herself as jazz’s most exciting new voice with her lush, extravagantly beautiful sound and social media smarts. Celebrating her triumphant night at the 2023 Annual Grammy Awards when she took home “best new artist” and “best jazz vocal album” trophies (for her 2022 Verve debut “Linger Awhile”). Hailing from an illustrious family of gospel singers, Joy has already soaked up a good deal of jazz wisdom, regularly attending classes with piano hero Barry Harris, an indefatigable keeper of the bebop flame until his death in 2021 at 91. In what can only be described as a booking coup, the hottest new artist in America today comes directly from the Hollywood Bowl to perform for you at our Healdsburg Jazz’s Father’s Day concert at Bacchus Landing.

The band will feature: Samara Joy (vocals), Luther Allison (piano), Donavan Austin (trombone), Jason Charos (alto saxophone), Davis Mason (trumpet), Kendric McCallister (tenor saxophone), Mickey Migliore (bass), Evan Sherman (drums). With Joy and her band, modern jazz sounds as fresh as tomorrow.
