Samara Joy has wasted no time in establishing herself as a dazzlingly bright star in the jazz-music firmament. Indeed, she recorded her first and self-titled album before she’d even graduated from college.

She then followed up a year later with Linger Awhile, which not only topped the charts but also bagged her the ‘best jazz vocal album’ award at last year’s Grammys (at which she also claimed the ‘best new artist’ gong).

The Bronx-born singer has picked up further silverware at this year’s Grammys too, winning the ‘best jazz performance’ accolade for the single Tight.

Her Town Hall performance late this month comes as part of a short UK tour.
