Emmet Cohen w/ Samara Joy Duo | Live from Verona, Italy 

This woman is one of the best jazz singers I've ever heard.

Young, gifted and black❗ thanking God for allowing the world to hear your beautiful voice. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥰

Samara's Nostalgia is a masterpiece !!!

What a joy Samara Joy and Emmet Cohen are. The new arrangements are refreshing and Samara’s already matured voice casts such virtuosity. Sarah Vaughan must be smiling.

Unbelievable. Thank you very much for sharing this moment of inspiration and beauty. At times it was like listening to Ella, for the perfection, the control and the timbre, but she's already her own. And she's so young... I wish I could live 40 years more to know what she's capable of then.

Samara Joy covering Carmen McRae, Stevie & Ella vocally. Fantastic. Emmet Cohen is awesome. This concert duo is 🔥. Bravo. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️ #musicislife

Emmett is a beast on the keys and Samara is a joy to experience live. I recently had that wonderful time of being in the same room with the poised and gifted young lady. Between the two of them; I had to chuckle, on whose beautiful tresses took more work in arranging. The package is complete: tasty and artfully shared. It is especially heartening to see these young folks putting in the work. Bravo!!

I am floored! This young woman has a voice that will withstand the magic of time. She takes you back in time when things were pure even a bit meloncony and misty.

Wow! She's in control of that monster voice, amazing range - like Sarah, awesome duo!

Emmet Cohen and Samara Joy are delicious together. Ms. Joy is one of the best around today. Billy Holiday, Eda Fitzgerald, Etta James, Sarah Vaugh, Diana Washington, Lena Horne, Shirley, Bassie, Nancy Wilson, and Nina Simone, would be so proud. So many talented singers through the generations both black and white and mixtures of many colors and races from all countries that love music, Jazz, and blues. Thank you for this concert with so much nostalgic music and lyrics in memory. Stunning Ms. Joy is, with Mr. Cohen's piano a luscious delight. ❤️🎶 What would the world do without music and art? It is the glue that holds our world together. Bravo, Bravo 👏 👏

I have just discovered Ms. Joy....and I am blown away!!!!

How 2 gifted Musicians can create something so sublime as their "Stardust"medley is beyond me!

Wonderful singer ! Not only her version of "Stardust" is a piece of art ! There are a lot of other vocal masterpieces of jazz singing ! Beside Veronica Swift Miss Joy belongs to my favorite jazzsingers of today. With Emmet Cohen she has a outstanding pianist in company!

Spectacular!!!! My two favorites bar none. And what a collaboration!!!! I’m so grateful to live in NY and to get to see them both often. King and Queen of Contemporary Jazz but always honoring the classics. ❤️

Samara is the voice, style, elegance & Grace I've longed for - to deliver the best of jazz old & new. Love what she's brought us

Musical match made in Heaven .. molto bene!! 🎹❤️😊🎶

That keeping out of mischief rendition blew my socks off!

She's such a wonderous joy to listen to.

OMG you are ALIEN BEINGS sent here to ELEVATE us ALL! This is insane- the BEST BOP ever ever... Emmet is Bud Powell and Samara is Sass. They have returned to Earth...

I am so happy to watch a new generation of classic jazz.

Beautiful and gifted young lady.❤

Brilliant vocals,!

Magnificent concert! Wonderful singing full of soul with one of the greatest jazz pianist of our time! ❤

Emmet Cohen is my all-time favorite pianist in jazz & contemporary music. He & Samara performing together is a match that makes the listener soar

This was music making at an exalted level.

I was working on a painting while this played, but when they did Stardust, I stopped painting and just watched...and shed a few tears.

Last Sunday night, I was enjoying Samara Joy at the Falcon in Marlboro, NY!!! She is as pleasant, receptive, approachable and genuine as who you see here. The concert was the best gift I could ever give to myself, as she's such an amazing performer!!! Will definitely love to see her again!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Wonderfully shot and edited performance: Emmet & Samara, two of the most exceptional and largest diamonds that can be found, anywhere on RU-vid, bringing real music into the future...........................

For me this is the show that really has you working together ❤ Great sensitivity from Emmet this evening, divine team awareness. Heavenly 🎉

Hope to catch one of their concerts in 23. Love these artists! 🎼🎹🎶

Her and Veronica Swift are first equal in my living female Jazz singer conversation! Loved ‘I didn’t know what time it was’ the most ^_^ Fantastic pairing! Emmet is incredible.The only shame is a drummer and bass player didn’t join them after a few numbers by themselves!

Amazing !Voice like Stradivarius💓

the future of Jazz vocals

Emmet, great as ever. Samara is blossoming before our eyes (and ears).

All I can say is I can't wait to see Samara in concert I hope soon.

Amazing. How music flows from them to the highest levels of humanity

I heard her for the first time on the radio today, and I thought it had to be some singer from the 50s who had somehow flown under my radar. Crikey! Color me WICKEDLY impressed with Samara Joy.

So young, and so talented.

Тhe most caressing voice, fabulous

Christal clear intonantion - she's the Jessye Norman of Jazz. She start's on a level others will not even reach on climax.

Emmet Cohen n°1 for jazz piano today

She fabulous, a she is an American classic. She is history, in the making.

Emmet ain’t no slouch y’all! Can hear that classical training!

🌹🎶✨Beautiful set all the way around✨🎶🌹Just sitting here at my work desk singing and dancing and shouting from the highest mountain...😊

These two are fabulous together. Their talent blows me away. I'm so glad I found them tonight.

What a great duo this year was my first experience with this great singer what a great future she will be at Keystone Korner June 19 what joy

1/7/24: I'm on the late freight but, ever since seeing her for the first-time last week, I have been scouring RU-vid for every performance/interview she's done. I love how she acknowledges the musicians in her band by naming them to the audience. She is captivatingly talented, well-spoken, gorgeous and with a very likeable personality but, most of all, she loves her family and is very humble and sincerely appreciates the success God has blessed her with; I just love her and wish her all the best in her career.

Absolutly fantástic! 👏👏👏👏

My soul has never experienced anything more beautiful with these two. If I would die tomorrow, I will have known beauty and good in this world again.

Samara Joy and Emmet Cohen are MAGIC together!!!👏👏👏

Vedo questo video soltanto ora e mi complimento per il meraviglioso spettacolo che i grandi Emmet Cohen e Samara Joj hanno saputo regalare all'Italia ,grazie mille!!

wow!!! thank you for the beautiful music!

Two young stars on the same amazing artistic sky-high level - even with the same hair-do

Wow!!! These 2! Too much amazing talent in one room ❤

Fabulous collaboration 👌🏼 I have goose bumps listening to them.. Bravo Samara and Emmet, looking forward to many years of amazing music from these two very talented artists.

Your music presented here is up to the Emmet/Samara standard, perfect of the most perfect, but you must surely be pleased with the video/audio capture and editing here. My goodness, what a superb musical moment!

At 52:00 it says "A little lamb", but that's actually "Someone to watch over me." 🙂 At 16:50 we hear "Start Dust". Att 22:35 "It's All Right With Me"

Блеск. Лучшие. Так исполнять - как дышать. Счастье слушать и жить в одно время с вами, Самара , Эммит.

You are the greatest Samara! Thank you for sharing your amazing voice! :)

This is the future of jazz in the US of A!

Well , USA.either for the good or for the bad ones, is always the number 1 in the world. You need a cultured, prepared pubblic and the will to promote great music, to be in that spot. So thank you America to be like this.

👏👏👏👏👏 Strong Beautiful and talented Black Queen!!!!!

Exquisite musicality and talent. Thank God for this kind of talent in a world gone mad. Just keep me within reach of this voice and this pianist. Samara is timeless, defying all convention yet executing originality with virtuosity and power. She suspends reality. Bravissima.

Cohen and Joy are a heavenly combo. Both are great already. Both are in the company of the great jazz pianists and vocalists of all times. So proud of you both. Sending love and please dont stop the music.

Talentosa Unica

Grazie!!!❤

Fabulous concert with two world class musicians, can't get enough.

She’s a wonderful departure from the so called culture. Equally appreciated overseas in Europe -nice to see she has a home anywhere in the world! She has a beautiful figure but she has to shake no ass. She can stand flat footed and sing up and down the scale and therefore needs no auto tune, no back up singers to scream and moan over her. She does not need Dr. Dre to drop a beat or Cardi B to rap a foul sexist lyric over the pure lyricism of Ella, Carmen, Billie, Sarah to bring us the beautiful songs of joy and woe woven so fine in real life. Gracia, gracia - she knows what time it is now❤

"You and I" LOVE LOVE LOVE this

Now, thats the sound I love!!

making great music and art is interpreting things around you and creating something special. She does that and so much so in Stevie Wonder's "You and I"! Tears.

The soundtrack of my life has been comprised of Ella and Sassy, and now I have added Samara to it as well. What a remarkably talented individual, and what depth, especially at her tender age. Thank you, Samara!

How this performance doesn't have a million views by now, I will never come to understand. I mean, come on, You and I, at 01:04:00 ?

WHEW! 🙌🏻

Magnífico.

Two of my all time favorites! Hearing them live together would be absolute perfection!❤️

Samara is a gift to humanity. Just heard her live in Stockholm.

Two of my favourite jazz artists.

A joy listening to her music God has given us a great gift

Samara, Emmet, I love love love the two of you together with the stories you tell with your musicianship. I'm waiting for your NJPAC or DC concert.😊

Italy loves you both!

Doesn't get any better! Love you both.

Piano sounds incredible as your playing - taking over now
