Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album

Black Vinyl LP

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