Gregory Porter

The iconic hat, the incomparable baritone - yeah, Gregory Porter is honouring us for the first time at the Festival da Jazz. Like his idols Nat King Cole and Nina Simone, Porter delivers a smooth jazz sound with clear references to soul, gospel and rhythm and blues. Porter became a global phenomenon with his Blue Note debut ‘Liquid Spirit’ in 2013 at the latest. Further successful albums followed, accompanied by several Grammy Awards. Today, one can bluntly state: Porter is quite simply the most soulful jazz singer-songwriter of his generation. Hold on tight and immerse yourself.
