Jazz from the genre’s giants
With a voice best described as liquid gold, Gregory Porter captivates audiences around the world with his soulful baritone and deeply emotional performances. His unique blend of jazz, soul, and gospel earned him huge global success on albums Liquid Spirit, Nat King Cole & Me, and Still Rising, featuring his friend and collaborator Dianne Reeves. Pre-eminent jazz vocalist Dianne Reeves is touted as “an heir to Ella [Fitzgerald], Sarah [Vaughn]…and Anita Baker” (JazzTimes). Her improvisational prowess and unique jazz and R&B stylings have earned her critical acclaim, including Grammy wins for her album Beautiful Life and for singing ’50s standards in the George Clooney film Good Night, and Good Luck. The jazz giants are joined by virtuosic Brazilian jazz guitarist Romero Lubambo.
