A regular guest with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, up-and-coming vocalist Gregory Porter has staked his clame to fame in the jazz world already. His highly versatile singing draws from the likes of Nat King Cole, Donny Hathaway, Joe Williams , Stevie Wonder or Kurt Elling. Not only does he manage to jump any hurdles between blues, jazz and soul effortlessly, the Grammy nominee also unites the great American traditions of crooning and topical songs with a voice that can caress or confront, embrace or exhort.
Subsequently, his 2010 debut album Water passed the American critics with distinction, and Jamie Cullum stated excitedly on BBC Radio 2: “Finally! Another jazz singer with chops and soul to sit alongside the mighty Kurt Elling. I am so excited about this artist. Originals, offbeat covers, a superb band and a voice both elastic and soulful.This record is effortless and bursting with class.”
