SUMMARY:An Evening with Samara Joy
DESCRIPTION:Tickets on sale Monday\, July 27\, 2026 at 10:00AM. \nSamara Joy returns to the PIJF! Few figures in jazz history have experienced the kind of meteoric rise that vocalist Samara Joy has enjoyed—especially at such a young age. At just 26\, she has become a part of a historic circle of jazz artists that have changed and grown the audience. \nWith six GRAMMY Awards already to her name\, including Best New Artist\, as well as an NAACP Image Award\, Joy has achieved the kind of profile typically reserved for pop celebrities. Her visibility has made her a steady presence on network television and a favorite among younger music fans\, particularly on platforms like TikTok\, where she has helped introduce timeless American music to new generations. Her performance history reads like a who’s who of the world’s most legendary venues and festivals\, with appearances at the Newport Jazz Festival\, Monterey Jazz Festival\, and Montreal International Jazz Festival\, as well as iconic stages including the Apollo Theater\, Carnegie Hall\, the Village Vanguard\, and Jazz at Lincoln Center. \nJoy’s rise has been accompanied by rave reviews. DownBeat called her breakout Verve Records debut Linger Awhile “a beautiful recording\,” hailing her as “a silky-voiced star\,” while The New York Times described her as a “rising star\,” and NPR referred to her as a “classic jazz singer from a new generation.” With each performance\, she has earned a reputation as a masterful interpreter of jazz standards\, drawing comparisons to legendary vocalists including Sarah Vaughan\, Betty Carter\, Abbey Lincoln\, and Carmen McRae. \nTICKETS FOR THE SAMARA JOY CONCERT INCLUDE ADMISSION TO THE TASTE OF JAZZ/TASTE OF PITTSBURGH PARTY
