Wave Hill

Excellent Excellent Excellent

The best ambiance and music

The setting was perfect for an intimate jazz performance. The autumn foliage at Wave Hill and our picnic lunch were perfect table settings before enjoying the performance. Samara Joy far exceeded our expectations. She has a sweet personality and poise that far exceeds her young age. And her pipes! Fantastic range and phrasing. This is jazz vocals at its very best. The trio was excellent and perfectly complimented Ms Joy’s singing. The mature audience was clearly well versed in jazz as we chatted about similar divas - Nancy Wilson, Carla Cook, Carmen McRae, Dianne Reeves, Cat Russell, Dinah Washington and of course, Ella. Ms Joy clearly has the potential to be mentioned in the same breath as the aforementioned. Jazz aficionado…… Richard Chu

Intimate, exciting and wonderful concert. Samara Joy is truly an amazing jazz artist of her generation. Wow! I can’t wait to hear her again. We also loved the venue and the warmth of the staff. The grounds of wave hill are beautiful as well. Thank you!
