Double Grammy-winning U.S. jazz singer Samara Joy releases the festive EP A Joyful Holiday. The six-song release serves as an extension of her latest album Linger Awhile. The tracklist features a new recording of Stevie Wonder’s “Twinkle Twinkle Little Me” as well as both studio and live versions of “The Christmas Song.” These are augmented by the previously released “O Holy Night,” which Joy performs with multiple generations of her family, “Warm in December,” and her version of “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” performed in a light, swinging mood.
Produced by Matt Pierson, the release features a similar cast of jazz A-listers to those on Linger Awhile, with Pasquale Grasso on guitar, David Wong on bass, Kenny Washington on drums, and Sullivan Fortner on piano.
