24-year-old jazz phenom Samara Joy makes her Ravinia debut following the release of her first album on Verve Records, Linger Awhile. That record reached number one on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart, after Joy won the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition and was named Best New Artist by JazzTimes. “Listening to Joy’s approach is a revelation,” says All About Jazz. “The ease with which her voice moves, her ability to sing with and without vibrato … Her phrasing is always spot-on.” Joy’s distinct vocal stylings have already earned her fans like Anita Baker and Regina King.
