Grammy-Winning Jazz Musician Gregory
Porter Makes His Long Center Debut
An artist whose music is at once timeless yet utterly of its time,
Gregory Porter solidifies his standing as his generation's most
soulful jazz singer-songwriter with Take Me to the Alley, winner
of the 2017 GRAMMY Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album, and
the much-anticipated follow-up to his sensational 2013 Blue Note
debut Liquid Spirit. Yet in his remarkable career, Porter has time
and again demonstrated an innate ability to transcend genre and
connect with audiences from all walks of life, and his new music
reflects the singer's continued and mindful growth as an artist
and as a person amidst the constant touring demands that have
resulted from tremendous international success. As Porter polishes
his artistry as one of our most heartfelt singer-songwriters on Take
Me to the Alley, his burgeoning body of work will continue to
give voice to its modern times while simultaneously echoing the
legacy of jazz and soul's yesteryear and informing generations of
musicians to come. ■
As a special offer for fans attending Gregory Porter's upcoming
tour, a digital download of his forthcoming album, Nat
King Cole & Me (available October 27), is included with
every ticket! ■
