Village Vanguard

Artemis is a fabulous group of musicians (who all just happen to be women) led by the wonderful Renee Rosnes, a jazz pianist/composer/arranger par excellence! It was their debut at the storied jazz club that has hosted the greatest musicians in the past 75 years.

outstanding. Jonathan is one of the top drummers today. I think of all times

Julian, Jorge Roeder and Dave King were firing on all cylinders at the Village Vanguard. The level of interplay and mastery of their instruments was amazing to witness.

Excellent combination of 4 creative musicians. Great set!!

In the beginning I thought they were not jiving together, but boy did they catch up! After the second piece, it all went so “together”. Danilo Perez is a great pianist, John Patitucci seems to be having such a good time playing! ! And the drums!!! A great evening!

My first time seeing her, and I was not disappointed. The musicianship, and the vocal quality were of course, stellar and were expected what was really disarming and positive was the theatricality and the humor that was infused into the show. It was a supremely satisfying experience, and I really appreciate having the chance to go.

The best performance ever

Amazing voice!!

Brilliant performance by an incredible artist Go to a Samara Joy show and be astounded

Watching and listening to Samara Joy at The Village Vanguard was witnessing history in the making! So happy to have been there!

Samara Joy is the most amazing, generous and beautiful superstar. Her concert was Joy!!

Astounding! Legend in the making!

I never saw Samara Joy because when you first notified me in February the show dates for April at the vanguard were already sold out. And annoyingly Bandsintown continued to send me emails to attend a sold out event. Then I attempted to get tickets to see this artist at a different venue immediately upon receiving notification from Bandsintown that new show was just added and that was sold out too. I have little faith in Bandsintown to see artist’s I follow. I am sure had I seen this show it would have been amazing so I give Samara Joy 5 stars and Bandsintown no stars!

Brad and his fine quintet gave the packed audience their money’s worth of quality music. Christian McBride’s bass playing took center stage in my opinion. I was disappointed that Brad didn’t treat us to a solo piano song or two. Brad was good but not exceptional. The audience volume prior to the show was uncomfortably loud, over 95db. I wished I brought my earplugs.

he is my hero

Fantastic show and performance of Música De Las Américas, an album I was unfamiliar with. Would have loved to have picked up an LP but venue was already sold out when I attended on the final night.

One of the best Jazz shows I've seen over the last few years, if not THE best.

Fantastic show!
