That orchestra is fabulous! One of the few real singers in the world

I’ve only just discovered Gregory Porter, and I can’t get enough. I’ve been on KZread all day experiencing a daytime par-tay!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

It's crazy how often I rewatch this. It's the best anxiety-reducing music I've found. It always puts me in a better head space. Gregory Porter is a master.

"Mother's Song" is a tear-jerker. Mr. Porter, with the Metropole Orchestra, is astonishing.

Oh man I cry… for my momma

I can listen to this performance every day! I love Gregory Porter and that Orchestra. I 'm so glad I found him! He makes my day. Thank you..

The goodness in all people all around the world is put into the lyrics and music of Gregory Porter, all from the heart. His fame is not only because of his talent; fans love his work because his work touches what everyone wants life to be on this Earth, but just can't achieve. So listening to him is a sweet sadness and joy bringing tears of joy and sadness to each and every one of us who connect with the desire, the thought, the feeling, the need to make a connection with life as it was meant to be. Peace.

I just discovered his live performances, and I am amazed, if I get the chance to see him live, I will certainly go. You made a beautiful comment by the way.

In my life I have had to work with the Costers, Platers, Etta James and the Drifters. It was a great ride but I must confess, when i listen to this consort, "I can't feel the ground under my feet" He lifts me up.

The French horn at 9:35 and the runs are stellar then the interplay with the sax just takes it to another level!!!!!!!

Not to be too nitpicky, but that's actually a flugelhorn, which is generally considered to be a little bit more like a trumpet than a french horn. Some might say that it is halfway "between" a trumpet and french horn. It is a really nice bit of collective improv for sure!

Metropole Orchestra is Fire! My favorite orchestra bar none. Brilliant!

Gregory Porter is a throw-back to the jazz era when we had great singers. A friend gave me his first album and I fell in love with Gregory singing. I look forward to more great music from him.

Still watching this in 2023!

Don't know how many times I've watched this....what vocal finesse......and the orchestra who show you that they are enjoying what they are doing!

Gregory Porter is an amazing talent. The orchestra is clearly enjoying his brilliant music and energy

Who knew! I thought I knew all The jazz greats but this leaves me ... and Amsterdam's Metropole Orchestra is outstanding with Gregory Porter. Bravo!

The Metropole Orkest's home base is in Hilversum, The Netherlands, but that does not take away from them being the world's best jazz and pop orchestra (orchestra meaning symphonic sections plus a jazz big band)

This is just an amazing orchestra playing the most wonderful music. All the greats of jazz have performed with the Metropole from Stan Getz to Mark Murphy, Phil Woods to Clare Fischer, Bud Shank to Clarke Terry, Peter King to Bill Evans, Lee Konitz to Bob Brookmeyer and dozens more. They all loved the experience many returned time and time again. The BBC shed its Concert Orchestra on cost grounds and denied us the joy of sounds like this. Thank you to Dutch Radio at Hilversum for carrying on supporting this orchestra and the arrangers like Rob Pronk and Dolf Van der Linden, under the most difficult of circumstances. We need this music for our souls.

One of the Greatest of the newer singers with definately the greatest orchestra of all time!

Gregory Porter is magnificent. And I love the flick of music sheet 8:21 from the Conductor. Wow on Sax then trumpet. When you got soul you soul...

A mother who's life lifted up me....that was my mother. This song has so much emotion for me, and I can tell by the way Gregory performed this song, that it was emotional for him also. Great talent!!!

I was really moved by a truly great performance. This should be made into a live album. It would sell well over a million copies.

thanks for sharing this performance. I think I have all of his cds but I can tell that this concert was awesome. Listen to the joy in his voice. Thanks again.

You just witnessed one of the greatest live jazz perfomances in the history of the genre.

This man and all of the music behind him is a refreshment to today’s music and is a super super replacement

Gregory Porter is an amazing lyrical genius. I saw him once in concert he is simply so original in his style & musical talent. The acoustics 🎵🎶🎺🎹 are so divinely beautiful & soothing to anyone's ears...I rest well when I hear that Gregory Porter Come to the Alley....

Wow! I'm sitting at work listening to this beautiful brother singing and the band playing and I'm thanking God! This is great!

Tout le concert est absolument exceptionnel ! Je ne me lasse pas de le réécouter... L’osmose entre Gregory Porter, l’orchestre et le public est unique et magique. Un temps au-delà du temps... L’énergie d’amour est palpable dans chaque note et chaque silence. Gregory est le capitaine du navire et il garde le cap de main de maître jusqu’au bout, emmenant tout l’équipage avec lui. Il est à ce jour, pour moi, le plus grand. En connexion directe avec la musique des sphères ! Merci infiniment pour ce partage 🙏❤️🌺

outstanding artist that has sheer talent and dexterity, a music genius.

Power and on the money, One of the best. Very moving. The messages he sings are very deep. Good work and a great orchestra.

He is now my FAVORITE new vocalist of the year. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Doesn't get much better. Smooooth !!

And not to forget the wonder of this orchestra 🥰

I was Blessed to catch Mr. Porter on the radio, it was just near the end of his song I never heard before but his voice was unforgettable that I refuse to change the station in hope it would play again & I could hear who he was & the name of the song. Simply BEAUTIFUL, I am hoping to go to his performance soon.

He has bowled me over and is my favorite artist. Great singer and wonderful songwriter

Did have the honor to hear him with the Metropole Orchestra in Munich, Tollwood Festival just yesterday. I guess this was the very best concert i heard for years. Greg is a singer of extraordinary quality with a wonderful stage presence. Also the Orchestra is playing on such a high level that i wished they would play all night through. This is real music, these are real musicians. God thanks for this evening, i´ll never forget it. Thank you Greg for your voice and for your songs!

+KlaRa474 I would pay with my "eye teeth" to have been at the concert rehearsal. I just saw Gregory Porter at Carnegie Hall/nyc 2 weeks ago at a Bill Wither's tribute. He was terrific... duetted with Valerie Simpson on one song...and took over the microphone on the final song. Whew!

Flawless. What a singer. What an orchestra. What a sound.

He's a game changer love listening to his music day or night always good

Gregory Porter has the happiest face I have ever seen.... I love him

This is what real singing is all about. He is absolutely fantastic! Good for you Gregory!

I love you Gregory Porter. My soul stirs when I listen to you sing. It's kind of like sliced bread, the best. I listen to this particular concert over and over because my daily bread is eaten right along side with this heavenly annointed man. This orchestra has one of the best brass sections that can keep company with the late James Brown's band. The trombone solos were off the charts.😁😁 Thanks for sharing your gifts with us.

Sensationelle Stimme, exzellentes Orchester.....GRANDIOSES KONZERT !!!

HO. LY. SWEET JE. SUS. How have I missed this artist in my life?!?!?! Mr. Porter you are a revelation. And thank you Metropole Orchestra for swinging with him. What a glorious experience it must have been.

I am so excited about being able to see and hear Mr. Porter, a magical man voice perform in Houston Texas in September 2021. I can hardly contain the joy and delight within me of a great performance. A dear friend and I are traveling to Houston from Colorado to hear this magnificent Jazz singer and performer at the Arena Theater. What a great way and a golden opportunity to have a girls get away and have some great fun at a concert in another state!

Gregory Porter is the most amazing artist to come along in the past century!

Great voice, performer, good spirit. Excellent Gregory Porter...

soooooo refreshing to hear this kind of gift....and a clean artist, shooting straight from the heart. just got turned on to him by my son. can't get enough. could not sleep so at 3 o'clock am I'm up listening to gregory.

What a tremendous gift to the world of music.

This MAN Sings His Songs With The Soul Of Our Divine Creator Amazingly, Smoothly Beautifully!... Truthfully Filled With Love Thankyou!

Fantastic concert from Mr Porter. One of the great voices of our time.

I've heard these arrangements with other orchestras he's played with and this is by far the most soulful, and best orchestra ever. It's hard to made Gregory Porter look bad, but this orchestra manages to elevate his performance. I'm already a Gregory Porter Fan and now a Metropole Orchestra fan. now.

Just started listening to GP and he is a revelation, real music for real people.

I love Gregory Porter's music. I can't say it enough.
