New Video From Gregory Porter – Illusion Written on October 29, 2010.
Gregory Porter, nominated for 2 SoulTracks awards (Best Indie Album and Best Male vocalist), has been receiving great praise for his accomplished debut album “Water”:
“Porter’s conviction and traditionalism cuts a retro figure, but also delivers another refreshing, contemporary male jazz voice worth savoring. (4 out of 5 stars)” — L Michael Gipson, Creative Loafing
“…an absolute showstopper of personalized soul…As an impressive, substantive vocalist…he’s right up there with Jose James as the next big male vocal jazz star.” Allmusic.com
“Porter may count (Nat King) Cole as his primary influence, but his vocals and his ability to spin a musical yarn call to mind…Joe Williams, Jon Hendricks, Lou Rawls and Kevin Mahogony.” — Soultracks.com
“…sheer genius…. quite possibly the year’s best jazz recording. Porter is one of the most inspiring jazz performers of the last decade. 5/5: Soulmattersmag.com
“Simply put, Gregory Porter may be our next great jazz singer.” — Straight No Chaser blog
“…one of the best artists in modern jazz today.” — Cashbox.com
