Guitar Teacher REACTS: SAMARA JOY - “Can’t Get Out Of This Mood” | 2023 GRAMMYs

--

[livfernandes]

She is a masterclass in jazz phrasing, use of range, breath control, tone all is there. This is jazz...

[AdeleMcAlear]

This was the first performance of the pre-Grammy broadcast. She is 23 and has only been singing jazz for 6 years.

[DaraVRose]

You’re spot on with the music today. Samara’s voice is mesmerizing!!! Poised, Sharp, yes all that!!!! It feels like she’s breathing life back into music.

[ekrom]

Her vocal range, tone, quality...sheesh!!! Haven't heard a voice this rich in a LONG time. Thanks for reacting Michael!

[harrymattah]

This young lady is absolutely out of words. Control, emotion, skills, melody, and.... joy! She delivers joy for the souls. I'm glad to have lived until know to hear her.

[billribas]

she is amazing. She went to SUNY Purchase outside of NYC. My son is a jazz drummer and goes there as well. He played a gig with her last year in the city.

Check out the video for Solitude. It is from great jazz guitarist Pasquale Grasso’s album, but is a duet with Samara. His guitar and her vocal performance are outstanding.

[chrisp]

Her performance was the highlight of the Grammys!

[hummersd]

She really is spectacular. I grabbed a ticket for Seattle right before she won big that night, but unfortunately couldn't make it. Planning on seeing her in NYC, and then hopefully in jazz festivals this summer. Her future is so bright; cannot wait to see what she does!

[SGI]

What a voice! ‘Cascades’ yes. Beautiful lady with a stunning instrument. Jazzed up and jumping
Such control😲

[alanwechsler]

Michael I don’t think I’ve ever seen you stare like that. You used the word “mesmerizing”. Yes. Indeed.

[jirikrajnak]

It's amazing how convinced she is of her own abilities. It really does shine through.

Amo a Samara y quisiera que todos se dieran cuenta lo magnífica que es

[supasoulproductions]

Great performance! I got big time 'Sassy' Sarah Vaughn vibes from this.

[kakilong]

Our Bronx girl, 23 year old SUNY grad, winner Sarah Vaughn International Jazz Competition goes down in the annals of jazz history and Grammy history. Brilliant!!! ❤🎤🎼🎶

[agatzebluz]

That was awesome !! Instant fan of Samara

[mitchweiner]

I didn’t care for the last couple of videos I watched here. This redeemed my faith in the channel! She’s incredible! Sarah Vaughan—Dinah Washington vibes to me!

[buttascotchyo]

He’s absolutely correct. Same reasons I don’t watch anymore but this young woman has restored my hope & faith. Because this is what singing is.

[darengraves]

Great video, it’s unfortunate that the majority of the jazz artists only get to perform at the afternoon show and not during the main broadcast, this causes a lot of amazing music to be overlooked.

[boomerdell]

Wow. She is incredible! So much here for guitar players like us — and any musician — to learn from.
