I had never heard of her before that night mainly because she is a jazz artist and jazz artists do not get a lot of play on local radio stations. However, for a jazz artist to win Best New Artist is a rare thing. I can only recall Esperanza Spalding winning it so I decided that I had to learn more.
After the Grammys, I purchased her Linger Awhile CD on Amazon. It arrived on Thursday and I have been mesmerized ever since. Please sample the sublime by listening to these
and give thanks that a new star has been born.

P.S. Samara Joy comes to San Francisco in June at the SF Jazz Center. I suppose you know where I hope to be.
