SAMARA JOY / PORTRAIT

Born out of her time on the road, Samara Joy took her touring band into legendary Van Gelder Studios in February of 2024. This record, appropriately entitled Portrait, is a collection of standards (as well as one original) and features her singular voice, alongside arrangements from this tight-knit young group. The recording tells the story of the community shes created with a new generation of young players and is evocative of the energy of her incredible live show.
