She draws inspiration from a wide range of artists, including Chopin, Joe Sample, Erykah Badu, Amel Larrieux, the Beatles, Fourplay, and Incognito, just to name a few.

    SAMARA JOY

    Friday, May 13, 2022—8:00pm

    Samara Joy is a singing star in ascendancy. The young vocalist attracted attention in 2019 after winning the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition. Her 2021 self-titled debut album puts her spin on jazz standards from the Great American Songbook for a release that furthers Joy’s reputation as one of America’s most promising young jazz vocalists.

    Joy grew up in the Bronx around a supportive musical family. Music was a pervasive presence due to the inspiration of her paternal grandparents, Elder Goldwire and Ruth McLendon, who led the Philadelphia-based gospel group, The Savettes. “My mother and father gave me the opportunity to hear music on an interesting spectrum, from Luther Vandross and Chaka Khan through to George Duke and Stevie Wonder. Actually, I hadn’t heard of Sarah Vaughan until college. My friends were all into jazz and started sharing their favorite recordings with me. The turning point was when I heard Sarah’s version of “Lover Man” – I was hooked.”

    Samara has performed in many of the great jazz venues in NYC, including Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola, The Blue Note, and Mezzrow, in addition to working with jazz greats such as Christian McBride, Pasquale Grasso, Kirk Lightsey, Cyrus Chestnut, and NEA Jazz Master Dr. Barry Harris.

    POETRY & MUSIC: THE HEALER & THE HEARTBREAKER

    Saturday, April 16, 2022—8:00pm

    LaShaun phoenix Moore hosts a special edition of Poetry & Music celebrating the release of Miz Kornoa’s latest EP, The Healer & The Heartbreaker. The evening will feature healer & heartbreaker-themed poems, Miz Korona performing works including her new EP with her live band, and DJ Stacye J on the 1s and 2s spinning throughout the night.

    Miz Korona, born Paula Smiley, is a performing artist, photographer, and activist hailing from Detroit, MI. She was groomed for a life of creative expression early on by her father and founding member of the 1970’s r&b group The Floaters, who would instill the importance of confidence and showmanship. She has opened for national touring acts, including Scarface and Run DMC.

    About The Healer & The Heartbreaker
    Nearly two years after her last release, Miz Korona is back with a powerful new EP called The Healer & The Heartbreaker. With assistance from a few of Detroit’s most sought-after producers, Miz Korona takes you on her personal journey of dating, falling in love, experiencing heartbreak, and healing from difficult relationships. The lead single, Lies, came in hot and heavy with transparency and honesty. It is a true indication of how this EP is definitely the most vulnerable material we’ve heard from the Detroit MC – and by far the most relatable. As you sit back and listen, ask yourself Miz Korona’s most probing question: Are you a Healer or a Heartbreaker?
