Swing into Spring

J to Z celebrates the arrival of spring with a selection of warm, rejuvenating jazz tracks, plus Grammy-winning vocalist Samara Joy鈥檚 inspirations.

Jumok茅 Fashola celebrates the arrival of spring with a selection of uplifting jazz tracks, to banish winter chill and welcome the season of new life, rejuvenation and renewal.

Also in the programme we hear from rising star vocalist Samara Joy. At just 23 years old, Samara鈥檚 voice has been lauded for its rich tone and depth beyond her years and has already landed her wins for Best New Artist and Best Jazz Vocal Album at this year鈥檚 Grammys. Samara has been described as an embodiment of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan, with her own contemporary twist. Here she gives us insight into her musical inspirations, including an Ella Fitzgerald live track that shows off her mastery.
