A two-time GRAMMY-winner and six-time nominee, Gregory Porter has undoubtedly become jazz’s most celebrated male vocalist, “a jazz singer of thrilling presence, a booming baritone with a gift for earthy refinement and soaring uplift” (The New York Times). He returns to Miner after last summer’s orchestral performance of Nat “King” Cole’s music at Davies Symphony Hall with material from across his outstanding career. After the success of his 2010 debut Water and follow-up Be Good, Porter broke through to mainstream stardom with his Blue Note debut Liquid Spirit, winning the 2013 GRAMMY for Best Jazz Vocal Album. He repeated the GRAMMY and chart success of Liquid Spiritwith 2016’s Take Me to the Alley, and his 2017 tribute to Nat “King” Cole, Nat “King” Cole & Me, is poised to earn Porter’s his third GRAMMY nod.
