Porter Gregory: All Rise - CD

The 2020 album All Rise by one of the most successful jazz artists of his generation, singing sensation and Grammy winner Gregory Porter.

The album's flagship single is currently the track Revival, which, among other things, pays tribute to Freddie Gray, who was a victim of police violence against African-Americans. The album was produced by Troy Miller, who has worked with Calvin Harris, Rag'n'Bone Man and Amy Winehouse.

All Rise follows the success of Nat King Cole & Me, which pays tribute to Gregory's great inspiration, jazz musician and singer Nat King Cole, and charted at number three in the UK charts. On his latest record, however, Porter returns to his classic songwriting style, that are a mix of jazz, soul, blues and gospel, but it's getting more emotional, more empathetic and much more intimate.

Gregory Porter charmed the audience with his warm soul voice. "When I was a child, my own voice soothed me. I think people like to listen to me because my voice has the same effect on them. I'm trying to heal myself with my songs," Explains Gregory, who won a Grammy for Liquid Spirit and Take Me to The Alley, one of the biggest and most prominent names on the jazz scene, and has become one of the most sought-after singers. Porter regularly sells out concerts and is invited to appear on prestigious television shows such as The Graham Norton Show and the BBC Music Awards. He has become an adopted treasure of Britain, singing for the Queen herself on several occasions and performing at major music festivals such as Glastonbury, and his ability to transcend and fuse genres has led him to create one of Ibiza's most popular dance songs Liquid Spirit - Claptone Remix.
