<p><strong>Happy Holidays from <em>The Late Set</em>!</strong> We’re re-running our episode featuring jazz vocalists Gregory Porter and Samara Joy.</p> <p>The interview comes from a <em>The Late Set</em> podcast called <em>Comfort and Joy</em>, from 2023. At the time, <em>Christmas Wish</em> and <em>A Joyful Holiday</em> had both just dropped. Former Evening Jazz host and Late Set co-host Greg Bryant and Nate Chinen connected virtually with the two artists, and were struck by their warm camaraderie — rooted in a shared foundation and a common commitment to singing their truth.</p> <p>You can also watch our video interview with Samara Joy, her father Antonio McLendon, and their late grandfather Elder Goldwire McLendon here:<br /> <a href="https://youtu.be/gByTUXyJJk0?si=rf4dFz70yF4inokO" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> https://youtu.be/gByTUXyJJk0 </a> </p> <p><strong>Want to support <em>The Late Set</em>?</strong> Become a WRTI member: <a href="https://www.wrti.org/donate">wrti.org/donate</a></p> <p> <strong>Follow us on Instagram:</strong> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wrtimusic">instagram.com/wrtimusic</a><br /> <strong>Subscribe to our YouTube:</strong> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@WRTImusic">youtube.com/@WRTImusic</a> </p> <p><strong>Write us an email:</strong> <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p>
