Monterey Jazz Festival Special, featuring Samara Joy, Darin Atwater, and Bryan Burkert.

Grammy Award winning jazz vocalist/composer Samara Joy is already establishing herself as one of the hottest stars on the contemporary jazz scene. In the run-up to the October 11th release of her new album, Portrait (Verve), Ms. Joy is one of the featured performers at this years Monterey Jazz Festival (Sept 27-29). We chatted about how this twenty-something prodigy stays sane in the midst of her fast moving career. 

And last summer, Paul spoke with the Artistic Director of the Monterey Jazz Festival, Darin Atwater (Soul Symphony), and Bryan Burkert (The Sound Garden in Baltimore) about the living evolution of jazz and how record stores play an important part in keeping it alive.
