Samara Joy Discovered Jazz in College—Then Dedicated Herself To It | Questlove Show
Samara Joy breaks down what it really feels like to record at the legendary Rudy Van Gelder Studio in New Jerseu. She explains why she insisted on cutting her album live in the room—with drums, horns, bass, and piano all together. Samara reveals how they tracked 18 songs in just three days, mostly in two or three takes, and shouts out Maureen Sickler, Rudy’s longtime protégé, as the guardian of his secret signal chain. Questlove credits Samara’s Portrait album [https://www.samarajoy.com/] with proving that Van Gelder can still sound as magical as the classic Blue Note era.
