    About This Event

    A No. 1 album and a double Grammy-win in 2023 put Samara Joy on the map, establishing the young American artist as ‘the next jazz sensation’ and ‘a legend in the making’, regularly compared to Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan. Fresh from another double win at this year’s Grammys, Joy makes a much-anticipated Proms debut, introducing audiences to her electric combination of youthful energy and old-soul musical style with classic songs and unique twists on instrumental classics from across jazz and its fringes, from bossa nova to the Great American Songbook. She salutes figures including Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Charles Mingus and Oscar Peterson.
