A two-time GRAMMY-winner and seven-time nominee, Gregory Porter is unquestionably 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 Davies Symphony Hall with music from his outstanding career and new material from his upcoming album.
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 Spirit with 2016's Take Me to the Alley, and he received further nominations for his 2017 tribute to Nat "King" Cole, Nat "King" Cole & Me, as well as 2020's All Rise - both on the Blue Note label.
Raised in the hardscrabble city of Bakersfield, the budding vocalist grew up with seven siblings who all sang and worked in their mother's skid row mission and felt the spirit by way of the rollicking tent revivals they were exposed to. Porter brings the same soul-stirring authority to jazz settings, revealing powerful truths with heart and grace.
