Samara Joy channels Ella Fitzgerald on Lady be Good -- Live from Emmet's Place

And she won the Grammy last night (to everyone's surprise) for Best New Artist. Finally after a loooong time...they recognize an artist who doesn't need lots of electronic help, dancers, nudity or bad language to make us watch. Just pure talent and class. Congrats Ms. Joy, hope you have a long and successful career!

A young spirit with an old soul. She does all the old jazz greats, justice.

Ella is smiling done from heaven on Samara Joy. I just fell off my piano stool at the beauty of Samara's scat and how Emmet and the band get totally into the groove. As The Greaseman at DC101 would've said; "Sweet!!!!

I am so happy that this incredible jazz songstress won Best New Artist on the 65th Annual Grammys on 2/5/2023. God bless her. It is about time that Jazz is spotlighted by this younger generation. It is definitely time to bring Jazz back into the forefront.

Here's a little forgotten tidbit about Ella FitzGerald, she scatted a lot because she simply forgot the words of the song.

THIS SINGER IS ONE OF THE MOST TALENTET OF ALL THE WORLD

Go, girl! I think Ella would be proud!

Virtuoso jazz performance requiring memory of chord progressions and inserted accompaniment inclusions. She carries it off with grace and aplomb. Really incredible musicianship.

Channeling Ella on the mic and Tommy on the piano.🥰

A signature Ella scat tune performed with optimum precision and yet again, YOU owned it!!! How could you doubt yourself! You have taken the throne of American jazz female vocals!! Sarah, Ella and Nancy are rejoicing in Heaven about
