Samara Joy is hot. Her 2022 holiday show at The Regent sold out a month ahead and I was convinced that she could win “Best New Artist” at the Grammys. And, in winter 2023 she did exactly that!

In 1981, promoter Fred Taylor produced eight landmark concerts in the back room of a Kenmore Square discotheque called KIX for Miles Davis’s big comeback after 6 years away from the stage. Miles and Fred were friends and he called him late one night and told him that he needed to “warm up his band” in Boston. Fred met Sue at a party on Beacon Hill and decided to hire her on the spot for this amazing event. This was the first concert Taylor and Sue Auclair worked together and it led to 39 more years of shows with his production company. This shot of Miles Davis was snapped at a subsequent concert at Boston’s Hotel Bradford in spring of 1982. Photo copyright, Sue Auclair
