I’m a professional Vocalist as well. And, I always look out for other artists who present their artistry in unique, yet connecting ways! However, in recent years I stopped, because the talent of many lacked luster. Gregory Porter is such a master at his craft, but he does it so effortlessly! I can usually tell if the musician will strike a chord with me in the first 2 minutes of their music! He got to me in 30 seconds! I am in Love with his lyrics, his sound, & his soul as well as his musicianship! Phenomenal! I’m in Love with listening to other artists again! And, , I can listen to Porter all day-every day. Thank you, Mr. Porter! 🙏🏽❤️🎶🙋🏽

Turkish Airways huh ... very interesting. Why does Mr Porter have to venture to Europe for his genius to be celebrated, while here at home (Oakland) .. literally - his zenith goes almost unnoticed.

after years of musical bullshit finally something real ! What a singer, what a a band ...goosebumps and dancing feet !

I just love the way Gregory Porter and his masterful band take a song and soar with it - gently, softly, yet with spirit and intentionally rise. Together, they bring music to life, as in “Painted on Canvas,” “On My Way to Harlem,” “Liquid Spirit,” “Hey Laura,“ “Be Good, ” No Love Dying,” “1960 What?” , “Real Good Hands” and “Free..” There is an amazing magical synergy between Gregory Porter and band that moves listeners to travel with them - enjoying the musical and lyrical journey. Gregory Porter and band know how to bring you with them on every word and note. Thank you for reaching me and others!!! You touch my mind, heart, soul and spirit! Keep on keeping on!

If I'm crying watching this on my computer at my house, I'd probably have to be hauled away if I saw them live. What a voice Gregory has, and what a wonderful ensemble. Chip Crawford! Yosuke Sato!

I can listen to this amazing concert of Gregory Porter and band over and over again! What joy, peace and optimism it brings to my days!

I have never fallen in love so quickly with an artist. Wait...let me say I have never fallen in love with an artist:). I loved Prince and I loved Teena Marie...but there is something different and special about Gregory Porter. I just found out about him a couple of months ago and was able to catch him live at the Fox Theater in Oakland....trust and believe wherever he is performing I will be there. Every time I hear Way Back to Harlem it brings a smile to my face and I just want to jump up and dance like a crazy fool:)....I love love love Gregory Porter...and can't wait to catch him at the Monterey Jazz Festival this weekend. This is what you call real musicians and artistry and I am introducing his music to all of my friends. I need to purchase everyone of his CDs...Bravo...Bravo...Bravo Mr. Porter:) I'm so glad the football thing didn't work out for you because I couldn't imagine life without the sounds of Gregory Porter...now that I've heard it:)

My former Beloved played "Real Good Hands" for me the day he asked my Dad for my hand. That was April 2016. Unfortunately, the love affair with him ended but the one with Mr. Porter had just begun. Unlike my former Beloved, Mr. Porter has never disappointed or left me lonely. Best gift he ever gave was the introduction. Daily dose of Liquid Spirit keep me going.

I was fortune to see him live in Mmabatho @ Garona resort Mahikeng. He is so special, reach tone.

Magnifique artiste ......

Beauty and the Beast! Gregory Porter's voice is an absolute thing of beauty and Chip Crawford is an absolute beast on the piano!! Trés fantastique! The rest of the band beautifully complement the enchanting fantasy!!

What a Show! So powerful!

Gregory Porter reminds me of the stir the late, great Phoebe Snow caused in pop and jazz circles when she came upon the music scene. Being Sublime mixed with genius and a big dash of humanity with undeniable, once in a generation chops. Love Gregory Porter, miss Phoebe Snow with all I got.

Heavenly material

I gotta go to this man's concert. Voices don't come through like this very often. Gosh dang!!!

1:30... Happy Father's day dad (who doesn't do the interwebs)... but that is my dad. Damn what a great concert!

I've seen Gregory Porter twice in Toronto for the 2013 and 2014 TD Toronto Jazz Festivals. An incredible voice, amazing musicians and is really a nice guy to meet (he did a meet and greet after his shows here).

Phenomenal Mr Porter and musicians. Drummer is exceptional x

Music is life. He reminds us and carries the life on. Bravo!

Great song, great voice. An amazing Master of Jazz. Love all of your music, forever and ever.

Muzyka gospel, jak i rodzinna kolekcja płyt Nata Kinga Cole’a to jego główne źródła inspiracji. Gregory Porter rozpoczął swą przygodę z muzyką, występując w małych klubach jazzowych w San Diego. Na tamtejszy uniwersytet dostał się dzięki stypendium sportowemu - podczas meczów futbolu amerykańskiego grał na pozycji obrońcy wspomagającego. Ale to muzykę wybrał jako swoje główne zajęcie. Stało się to dzięki lokalnym muzykom, wśród których późniejszym mentorem Portera okazał się Kamau Kenyatta. Kenyatta zaprosił Portera do studia nagrań w Los Angeles, w którym nad swoim albumem „Remembers The Unforgettable Nat King Cole” pracował wówczas flecista Hubert Laws. Gdy ten usłyszał Portera śpiewającego sobie podczas nagrania piosenki Charliego Chaplina Smile, zachwycił się młodym artystą i zaprosił go do wzięcia udziału w nagraniu płyty. Debiutancki album Portera „Water” (Motema Music) zdobył Grammy w kategorii „Najlepszy jazzowy album wokalny”. „Be Good” (Motema Music), wydany w 2012 r., zdobył kolejną nagrodę Grammy, tym razem w kategorii „Najlepszy tradycyjny występ R&B”. W 2011 r., w recenzji opublikowanej na łamach „New York Timesa” pisano: „mocny baryton i przekonujące wykonania czynią z niego samorodną gwiazdę, która wie, jak podchodzić do melodii, pracując nad ekspresją i budowaniem napięcia”.

Perfect, thanks!

Music on point and excellent, deep stuff , maturity in it 👏👏

a great artist a very recent discovery for me, stunning, a fantastic voice and a sensible interpreter

Chip Crawford! He the MAN. I wonder if he's a Capricorn.....I hope to have the chance to sing behind this man one day.

Love all of them. It would my dream to collaborate one day with them. saw them live in Miami. They changed my life.

This music feels me with happiness and enjoyment.😅
