What I love the most is that she won best new artist but she sounds so timeless. That does NOT happen often. I'm so glad there's someone like her representing her generation right now.
I've been following her, and always heard tones of Ella and Sarah, but I heard more inflections of Nancy from her than I've ever heard in this performance. What a treat. ❤
Did she have a meet and great so your daughter could get a picture? I just returned home from seeing her. I was able to get a signed CD and a photo with her.
Shes my age, 23 years old. I cant believe it, she sounds so regal, so seasoned, so rich! Shes such a breath of fresh air for this generation because i feel like we are force fed one version of music artistry these days when there is so much out in the world!!!
I hadn't heard of her until the Grammys. Then I searched for her on Spotify, listened to her music, and goodness! She is now my favorite new artist. Absolutely great! I believe Ella, Sarah, Billie and other great jazz songstresses would be proud.
I'm so glad that Samara Joy won her Grammys. She is doing everything right and is blossoming right before our eyes. She sings DOWN and I'm happy Jazz has young blood bring it back into the forefront. Well deserved!
I know Barry Harris would be so proud of her. We from Barry’s class are so proud of how far she has come. We all knew this would happen - she has always been so special. Love her!!!
Classic beauty, classic band, classic VOICE. Hate to admit, I wasn’t familiar with Samara before last night, however, she has gained a fan. I love Jazz voices and she definitely fits the bill!
She hasn't been around that long. In another interview, I think she said she's only been doing jazz for like 5 years. Then, she went to school to study it. Now, she's got a Grammy.
I love Jaron's commentary, enthusiasm, and passion for great singers. Like him, I am blown away at the vocal excellence of Samara Joy. I'm so thrilled she won Best New Artist and also Best Vocal Jazz Album. I too watched the Grammys to see if Samara Joy would win, and I am thrilled for her 2 Grammy nominations and wins. Thanks for this review, Jaron. You're wonderful. 😘
I've literally never seen anyone do that at the Grammys, that was awesome. Aside from doing that making a giant room feel like a small club, acnowledging the people on stage with her and giving them equal recognition was just such a lovely human touch that people just don't do. Made me love and respect her even more!
Such a beautiful mature voice. She may be known for winning two Grammy's on her first go, but everyone knows being highlighted on Jaron's channel going to really make you known 😄😄
She is the pride of the Bronx. We been lovin’ on her for years. So thrilled for her. I’d love to hear you analyze the great singers Jean Baylor from the Baylor Project and Cecile McLorin Salvant, both nominated in same jazz category as Samara.
The entire family is so excitedly happy and proud of Samara's achievement on her very 1st time at the Grammys. The family is Blessed by the Most High... trust there are a lot of relatives who sing, play instruments, choir directors just all around ANNOINTED!
She is absolutely a Generational Talent. Her name will go up there with the greats, because the best is yet to come. I found out about her about six months before the Grammy's and from the first listen I became an instant fan. I hope she has a very LONG career. I want to hear more from her.
Sister Samaraaaaaa! So gifted and classy, what a breath of fresh air in this stale music business. A new Queen in town who will send a lot of new audiences to jazz. Congratulations you deserved that standing O and an absolutely fabulous analysis, thank you so much for sharing this.
Thanks for breaking down the vocal ranges and pitch. Had very similiar sentiments hearing and seeing Samara Joy name call for Best New Artist. I jumped up from my chair with joy, then tears of joy started streaming down my face. This is music, this is skills, this is gift this young lady executed to the world. ❤️
Vocal Beast! Vocal ROYALTY!!! Articulate, elegant, the clarity and PRECISION bar-none. She is incomparable. I LOVE HER! Life and experience will only season her vocal skills. She’s wonderful, humble and beautiful.
She is definitely an old soul. I hadn't heard of her before her win on the grammys and have been listening to her ever since. Her voice is perfection! 😙🤌🏿
@sonofgoldmusic4340 I’m speechless every time i hear and see her life flourish in this direction. i’m screaming now, ‘cause i’m so freaking excited!!! this excitement is perpetual🎉🎉🎉 luv y’all!!! ❤❤Rachael
I immediately liked her from the sample they played of her song, along with the other nominees before the winner was announced! There was something special about her voice. I quickly went to Spotify to hear more of her beautiful music. Also, I loved how you broke her song down and explained the different textures of her voice. I better understand, as you mentioned, how intelligent she is with how she sings her songs.
OMG I cried and screamed when she won. I too have been following her since late 2019 and I am just in awe. She is my best friend in my head! I love her. Soooo excited for her future and what she will do for the industry. She is not only gonna do great things for jazz but for all music genres. She is legendary already!
WOW, this is one talented young lady. A Classic voice if ever there was one. It reminds me of growing up listening to my grandmother singing. Yeeesh , gave me goosebumps.
Yes!!! I cried too. We saw Samara Joy live at a Jazz Fest in Albany, NY (September 2022). My husband and I absolutely enjoyed this talented young woman. She was amazing.
Have been following Samara for almost two years now and rushed to see her in Paris late last year. She’s every bit the new standard bearer for this music. Her artistry is breathless, and one hopes that she lights up this generation who’s bereft of quality like her and reminds them where the bar in music really sits. And what a solidly grounded human to boot.
I’ve been a fan of Samara’s since I first heard her on TikTok. She’s such a beautiful person and a timeless singer. One of the greats in the making. She’s simply a stunning artist.
Jaron, I love your enthusiasm, love, and excitement whenever you're excited about analyzing a particular piece of music. I fully agree that this young lady is fire... a breath of fresh air in this era and life for the jazz lovers' soul. Thank you so much for this post.❣️
Congrats to the beautiful and so very talented SAMARA JOY! She is keeping the jazz vocalists alive with her unique style. Great analysis Jaron and thank you.😀
As soon as I saw this performance, I immediately thought about you Jaron. You read my mind. Anyway, it's so refreshing to see a young lady with class and grace garner mainstream success. I can tell she studied all of the jazz divas, but she reminds me of Sarah Vaughan the most, based on her tone.
I'm so spoil on Rachelle Farell who to me is the greatest versatile vocal genius of all time. Like nobody is better than that mother queen Rachelle. So everyone else after her especially jazz singers pales in comparison. With that being said I'm always happy to see real singers who represent black magic celebrated. So congrats to this beautiful queen! And Jaron as always u are so awesome at what u do. The best I have seen. I enjoy!
She is the granddaughter of a very famous pastor, McClendon, not Clarence. But he can sang, and she's been sanging since she was a young girl. I just watched her on Terrell Grice, and she sang Blessed Assurance in a whole new style, and she took you to heaven. She is so talented. I want to hear her sing "Blood on the Leaves" by Billie Holiday, and I wonder if she would take us to the scene like BH did.
I'm glad you said it. She sounds so much like Ella Fitzgerald to me. Her voice is just so beautiful and rich. I have watched this performance like 3-4times now.
Saw her in concert last night in NYC at The Apollo. She also performed with her family. It was one of the most magical nights I've ever had at a concert - a very emotional experience. I feel so blessed to have heard her live. Thank you for this analysis! It helps me appreciate her music even more. You're great!!
I could've watched you both for hours, this video was such a delight. I love Samara Joy's vocal talent and your analysis (and your own vocal talent) was wonderful. Thank you!
What I love the most is that she won best new artist but she sounds so timeless. That does NOT happen often. I'm so glad there's someone like her representing her generation right now.
Everything you said, I second. ❤
@@onyxexpress agreed
Absolutely 🤎
Me I love her I wanna go see her in person
Amen! NO twerking half naked!!!! Gifted vocalist!!!❤❤❤
She would KILL an Anita Baker song.
Definitely!!! Man I hope she covers some !
Yes!!! She’s like if Anita, Sarah, and Regina Belle had a baby! 💕😊
Yasssss 🙌🏾 first person of my time that I thought of too 😊
I agree
I just heard it in this play back. You got that right!!
Every Grammy’s I find someone new to listen. I love her instantly. Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson and Ella Fitzgerald comes to mind. Love it!
I just wrote the almost the exact same thing it is great to know someone else heard those voices too. We both named the same Greats.
@@okay5045 Samara blew me away. I thought about when my Dad introduced me to Jazz when I was young. I’m so glad he did.
I've been following her, and always heard tones of Ella and Sarah, but I heard more inflections of Nancy from her than I've ever heard in this performance. What a treat. ❤
All of them!! It's like they all them decided to come back!!
@@phyllispierce6146 I’m glad. Samara voice is beautiful
My 15 yr old daughter's favorite artist, I took her to see her a few weeks ago. My daughter spent the whole show crying. Ms. Joy is the Real Deal.
Did she have a meet and great so your daughter could get a picture? I just returned home from seeing her. I was able to get a signed CD and a photo with her.
@@Juss10sMom nope, I purchase some swag, but she was not doing any meet and greet.
❤❤😂😂😢😢🎉🎉A TRUE JAZZ SONG STYLIST!😅😅😅😊😊😊!! BEAUTIFULL!!!! LOVE REAL MUSIC!!!✔😮
I picture myself at a jazz club on a rainy Chicago night in 1954. 😍😍
Shes my age, 23 years old. I cant believe it, she sounds so regal, so seasoned, so rich! Shes such a breath of fresh air for this generation because i feel like we are force fed one version of music artistry these days when there is so much out in the world!!!

I agree!!!
Same! I read the article about her and the nomination in Essence the day before the Grammys, and I was so hyped when she won!
I got a randomly ad about her on IG during the summer and have been OBSESSED ever since. She’s got a voice that his timeless.
@@malmal3003 I agree
Awesome to hear this! Samara is a unique, gorgeous talent.
this woman is so NEEDED right now!💙
I haven't heard singing like this is many years.
Yesssss!!! Speak!!!!
Yes indeed! This is my kind of music 🎶 and she is only 23 years she is incredible! ❤️
She gives me hope for the new music that is coming out. I was starting to lose it.
Exactly!! Quite refreshing! Imagine her singing with Madeleine Peyroux. Close your eyes and you would swear Sarah and Billy Holiday were doing a duet!
Totally Agree!❤️ 💯
As a Sarah Vaughan fan, I’m loving the timbre of her voice.
Sarah Vaughan was my favorite jazz artist.
Nailed it!
It’s lovely! What a blessing to the world!
Me too, it is like Sarah reincarnated
I’m right there with you …. For me Sassy was the best. Samara is impressive!
I Love How She Introduces the Band Perfectly that Keychain made me Smile😊
I'm so glad that Samara Joy won her Grammys. She is doing everything right and is blossoming right before our eyes. She sings DOWN and I'm happy Jazz has young blood bring it back into the forefront. Well deserved!
Yeeeesss! ❤
I’m glad to hear I wasn’t the only person who was so happy that I cried when she won the Grammy for Best New Artist. Samara Joy is a treasurer!
✋️
I know Barry Harris would be so proud of her. We from Barry’s class are so proud of how far she has come. We all knew this would happen - she has always been so special. Love her!!!

For someone so young, she is an old soul. It’s like she been on this planet for 100s of years. She is the musical find of our time.
Im so excited to see a jazz singer & amazing vocalist win Best New Artist 👏🏽
I love Jaron's commentary, enthusiasm, and passion for great singers. Like him, I am blown away at the vocal excellence of Samara Joy.

The fact that she, took the time to introduce her band, is reminiscent of of Ella, and Sarah…
I've literally never seen anyone do that at the Grammys, that was awesome. Aside from doing that making a giant room feel like a small club, acnowledging the people on stage with her and giving them equal recognition was just such a lovely human touch that people just don't do. Made me love and respect her even more!
She reminds me of Sarah Vaughn and just the timeless and effortless energy that she embodied with every single ounce of class.
Yes. Me too. Sassy
Agreed!! She has a lot of Sarah with her!! Finally, a voice with character!!
She gained another fan. Her warm voice is very soothing. Her voice is an instrument and she uses it VERY well!!!
I love your analyses. She’s definitely an entire mood.
Her style is very Reminiscence of Sarah Vaughn and Ella Fitzgerald. Love it!
His reactions!! You can tell she's a singer's singer.
Such a beautiful mature voice. She may be known for winning two Grammy's on her first go, but everyone knows being highlighted on Jaron's channel going to really make you known 😄😄
Love her artistry so much!!
This young artist gives me COMPLETE JOY. Her voice, her talent....just WOW! The musical galaxy will be hers! So glad she won! MAKE HER MAINSTREAM!
SHE....IS....IT!!!! My husband and I beamed with joy during her acceptance speech. So proud of her! ❤️❤️❤️
She is the pride of the Bronx. We been lovin’ on her for years. So thrilled for her. I’d love to hear you analyze the great singers Jean Baylor from the Baylor Project and Cecile McLorin Salvant, both nominated in same jazz category as Samara.
She sounds very timeless and also is giving us a new voice in the sea full of the same ones!
That audience said YES MA’Am!!! I love how the audience both times were so genuinely happy for her wins!!!!
What a voice!! I'm an instant new fan of hers. I never thought I would hear anyone approach Sarah Vaughan's enormous talent.
The entire family is so excitedly happy and proud of Samara's achievement on her very 1st time at the Grammys. The family is Blessed by the Most High... trust there are a lot of relatives who sing, play instruments, choir directors just all around ANNOINTED!
Thanks for sharing her with us and wasn't that her grandfather that came 2nd to LeAndria on Sunday's Best
I love Joy! She brings back the jazz!! 🤞🏾😍😍💕
she is her own artist of course, but she gives me so much nancy wilson realness… she is FABULOUS.
Yes, indeed ‼️❣️
she’s DIFFERENT !!! & you’re the man with these breakdowns cuz. making what these great singers do more understandable !
Yes, introducing the band first was awesome! I love that!
She is absolutely a Generational Talent. Her name will go up there with the greats, because the best is yet to come. I found out about her about six months before the Grammy's and from the first listen I became an instant fan. I hope she has a very LONG career. I want to hear more from her.
Samara is on her way to be a big star!! I am so glad she’s getting recognition!! She’s my new favorite artist!!! She is phenomenal

Takes me back to my childhood.
The days of Sarah, Ella, Nancy & those legendary voices.....
By not living in the USA I forgot the Grammy’s 🙈
Thanks for the introduction to Samara 👍🏾😉
I luv her “jazz voice” 💜🙌🏾
Was. Waiting. For. Your. Analysis. She is a gift, and so are you. Thank you.
Brilliant analysis. Spot on. I cried too when she sang and won. A star!!!
Jazz is in great hands with people like Samara Joy and Stella Katherine Cole. As a jazz fan this makes me extremely excited
She is simply amazing. Her father and grandfather has amazing voices as well. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Samara Joy has been in my ears for a while now! I’m so glad to see her get media recognition.
As soon as heard her do this, I KNEW you were gonna get on it! That voice is craaaaazy.
I'm so happy for her!!!!
I. LOVE. HER. Thank you Grammy for leading me to a beautiful phenomenon.
Yes! Same. First time ever hearing of her when she won the Best New Artistand I've been listening to her every since. Love her voice and her class
What a beautiful person and talent!! For me, she is receiving the torch from the great Dianne Reeves along with many other greats we love.
She added Love & Unity to the Grammys with her Gift, Yessss 👏 👏 👏

I just saw her on The Jennifer Hudson Show a couple weeks ago!
She has such a retro jazz sound! Very nostalgic!
And congratulations to her!!!
I first saw her on the Jennifer Hudson show for the first time to and became an instant fan, then purchased her CD it's fabulous.
YES! that performance made me want to deep clean my entire house, take a self care day & make me an amazing dinner just for myself 😭😩🙌
@@jalaaaah 👍
A stunning performance by a magnificent vocalist. I love her album!
I would love to hear her do a collaboration with Take 6. 🥰
This would make my heart LEAP.
@@jmlegrairstudio I think I'd just crumble down in tears from the sound.
🥰 Wow, yes
She is an experienced performer. She's played with several different bands/trios. So she knows how to do.
So glad she received her just do! Beautiful spirit and humble. She is a wonderful gift of vocal gymnastics and sultriness! 🎉

This performance itself deserves an award 👏🏾 ✨️ 🙌🏾
Again, I hear Nancy Wilson and Phyllis Hyman, with the blessing of Rachel Farrell. Whew!!!
AMAZING TALENT!!!! Congratulations on MISS JOY'S Grammy WIN!!!
She is a song stylist like the greats. Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson....

Samara Joy is pure JOY! ❤️❤️❤️

Samara Joy I 1 of a kind. I love her voice. I screamed when she won her Grammy awards
Fantastic analysis of a mesmerizing vocalist. Samara makes it feel so effortless and smooth. That's the mark of a true musical craftsperson.
She is the granddaughter of a very famous pastor, McClendon, not Clarence. But he can sang, and she's been sanging since she was a young girl. I just watched her on Terrell Grice, and she sang Blessed Assurance in a whole new style, and she took you to heaven. She is so talented.

I’m so happy for her!!! She’s amazing!!!!
She was the only reason why I watched the Grammy's also. Love her. She just recently did a show here in Atlanta.
I'm glad you said it. She sounds so much like Ella Fitzgerald to me. Her voice is just so beautiful and rich. I have watched this performance like 3-4times now.
When she won I said oh yeah they are ready for pure and quality vocals.
Well, WE long-suffering music buyers have been ready. The industry itself? Jury's still out on that one (lol)...
🤔🤷♀😅
I love her music and will be checking out one of her concerts virtually next week.
She digs into the notes!! Absolutely breathtaking!!❤😅
When she won...I thought of you!!!! This is such a happy moment!!!
She was interviewed on Amanpour and Company and she sounded so humble and down-to-earth.
I love your commentaries! You REALLY enjoyed this one and I enjoyed watching you enjoy such a prolific artist.
She is ancestral remembrance pure and beautiful…
Loved your analysis and shared it with Samara. Thanks for recognizing her artistry!
Thank you for the break downs it helped me understand her technique and skill. She reminds me of Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald! I love it!
Saw her in concert last night in NYC at The Apollo. She also performed with her family. It was one of the most magical nights I've ever had at a concert - a very emotional experience. I feel so blessed to have heard her live.
