Self-titled debut release from Samara Joy. Produced by Grammy-nominated veteran Matt Pierson, she's joined by jazz guitar virtuoso Pasquale Grasso and his trio (Ari Roland and Kenn y Washington) for a release that furthers Joy's reputation as one of America's most promising young jazz vocalists. Joy's interpretations balance the breezy-fresh feel of a relative newcomer with a reverence for a tradition she is now undoubtedly part of. "But Beautiful", "Let's Dream in the Moonlight" and "Jim" pay homage to Billie Holiday's original versions, and she acknowledges the great Nat King Cole with versions of "It Only Happens Once" and "The Trouble with Me is You". "Stardust" is another nod to Cole, showcasing a talent for storytelling well beyond her years. As she says, "There's nothing like hearing someone who understands sing it to you." Moods range from the happy-go-lucky simplicity of "Everything Happens to Me" to the longing of "Lover Man".CD Details Release Date: August 27, 2021 Record Label: Whirlwind Recordings UPC: 630808829147 Number of Discs: 1 Listen Before You Buy Stardust Everything Happens To Me If You Never Fall In Love With Me Let’s Dream In The Moonlight It Only Happens Once Jim (It’s Easy To See) The Trouble With Me Is You If You’d Stay The Way I Dream About You Lover Man (Oh Where Can You Be?)
