I september får Trondheim virkelig storbesøk. Et av de aller hotteste nye jazznavnene, Grammy-vinneren Gregory Porter vil gjøre en meget eksklusiv konsert i Dokkhuset. Fra utekonsert under årets Moldejazz og fulle saler på de største jazzfestivalene rundt i verden, kommer han til byens fineste klubbscene.
Les hva musikkpressen skriver:
“The next great male jazz singer”—NPR Music
“The Brooklyn-based singer with the rich baritone and the ever-present Kangol hat is on a mission to revive old-school musical values. Possessed of massive vocal power offset by a rich tone and delicate control, his interpretations flit between jazz and soul, with the finesse of the former and strength of the latter in equal measure.” —MOJO
“Porter fuses jazz and soul better than anybody working these days… We are only one month into 2012 and we may have already heard the album of the year. Very Highly Recommended.” – SOUL TRACKS
“The ’70s soul is still quite apparent in his voice, with shades of Donny Hathaway and Bill Withers, but he’s also the vocal heir to Nat King Cole…a major talent, not just as a singer but also as a composer, with a unique, elliptical style, both for melodies and lyrics…” – ALLMUSIC.COM
