Gregory Porter
Meet the artist
A singer with a deep, warm voice nurtured by gospel and Nat King Cole. His original songs connect jazz and soul with themes of love and community. Resonant low notes and expansive melody give words careful attention.
Gospel strength coexists with the conversational softness of an intimate ballad. Original songs connect personal feeling with a concern for other people, bringing jazz singing close to everyday life. Band improvisation and clear song structures welcome soul listeners too. Phrase endings and lingering words reveal expressive detail beyond the sheer power of the voice.
Where to start listening
Notice not only the voice's fullness but also where words fall against the beat. After following the singer, find the replies from piano and horns.
