Gregory Porter

When Gregory Porter begins to sing, the room is transformed into a cathedral. His soft, velvety baritone voice blends jazz tradition with gospel and deeply felt soul. With deeply personal lyrics and a tribute to his vocal role models and heroes, such as the great Nat “King” Cole. At Enjoy Jazz , this celebrated and exceptional artist Enjoy Jazz perform one of his special concerts, which proclaim the beauty of this music like a prayer. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Bakersfield, California, Gregory Porter—along with his quintet, accompanied by piano, Fender Rhodes, and organ—will perform the best-known tracks from his Grammy-winning albums, such as “Hey Laura,” “Be Good (Lion’s Song),” and “Take Me to the Alley.” An intimate narrative of love and reconciliation, nuanced and masterful.
