It's crazy how often I rewatch this. It's the best anxiety-reducing music I've found. It always puts me in a better head space. Gregory Porter is a master.
In my life I have had to work with the Costers, Platers, Etta James and the Drifters. It was a great ride but I must confess, when i listen to this consort, "I can't feel the ground under my feet" He lifts me up.
God, in His infinite wisdom sends angels to earth to remind us to turn our eyes and ears to higher Things. Gregory Porter is one of those special gifts sent to us to touch our hearts and bring joyful tears to our eyes. I pray That God Bless him at every turn.
I was a co-worker this weekend at cactusfestival in Bruges where he performed. I had the privilege to shake his handat the backstage and tell him how much I appreciated his concert. A very kind and warm person with an amazing talent. One of the best concerts I've ever seen !!
The goodness in all people all around the world is put into the lyrics and music of Gregory Porter, all from the heart. His fame is not only because of his talent; fans love his work because his work touches what everyone wants life to be on this Earth, but just can't achieve. So listening to him is a sweet sadness and joy bringing tears of joy and sadness to each and every one of us who connect with the desire, the thought, the feeling, the need to make a connection with life as it was meant to be. Peace.
I just discovered his live performances, and I am amazed, if I get the chance to see him live, I will certainly go. You made a beautiful comment by the way.

Gregory Porter is a throw-back to the jazz era when we had great singers. A friend gave me his first album and I fell in love with Gregory singing. I look forward to more great music from him.
Gregory Porter is amazing! The orchestra is so superb! They make great team! I watch this concert 20 times, and I'll watch it a 1000 times again. I love good music. Not factory music but that music that remind you of that old great wine. Go head Gregory Porter! Go head!

After you listen to music like this.....don’t you just want to go out in the world...and throw rose petals around and love everybody? Tell the truth!!!!!!
I absolutely agree with your assessment. This music has made me feel love, hope and peace… This is as close to perfection as a music set can get! Gregory Porter is Simply, Simply Sublime!
from my very own hometown of bakersfield ca. we're so proud of you my brother. please honor us with a local performance.we want to embrace your brilliance...
I am so excited about being able to see and hear Mr. Porter, a magical man voice perform in Houston Texas in September 2021. I can hardly contain the joy and delight within me of a great performance. A dear friend and I are traveling to Houston from Colorado to hear this magnificent Jazz singer and performer at the Arena Theater. What a great way and a golden opportunity to have a girls get away and have some great fun at a concert in another state!
Did have the honor to hear him with the Metropole Orchestra in Munich, Tollwood Festival just yesterday. I guess this was the very best concert i heard for years. Greg is a singer of extraordinary quality with a wonderful stage presence. Also the Orchestra is playing on such a high level that i wished they would play all night through. This is real music, these are real musicians. God thanks for this evening, i´ll never forget it. Thank you Greg for your voice and for your songs!
+KlaRa474 I would pay with my "eye teeth" to have been at the concert rehearsal. I just saw Gregory Porter at Carnegie Hall/nyc 2 weeks ago at a Bill Wither's tribute. He was terrific... duetted with Valerie Simpson on one song...and took over the microphone on the final song. Whew!
A mother who's life lifted up me....that was my mother. This song has so much emotion for me, and I can tell by the way Gregory performed this song, that it was emotional for him also. Great talent!!!
This man is a complete monster. He is one of greatest to ever touch a microphone. One my all- time favorites and I grew up around some of the greatest to ever sing. Hats off to you, my brother!
He claims that his bout with pneumonia as a child altered his voice and gave him his current tone. Glad he got through that illness, and I thank God his voice altered.
I have been a music fan for over sixty years , hardly ever comes a talent that encompasses the art like Gregory Hope I can see hom in concert before I m gone!
Just discovered this concert and have to say I loved every minute. The enthusiasm and appreciation of the audience, along with this amazing orchestra and of course the sublime Gregory Porter. An absolute treat to watch and listen to. Thankyou to all the musicians and to Mr Porter. Hope I will one day get to see you live 💛✨💛✨💛✨
Magic. I have watched this video innumerable times. Gregory is a joy to behold... and... the band and arrangements are sublime. This is one of those perfect nights when everything "clicks" and everyone is performing at their best. Fantastic.
Mike P my eyes teared up to such beauty and I’m a percussionist myself.. 1960 what? I’ve heard this cut added to a deep house track ... WICKED! But I never knew who it was until today.. just now.
I have seen Gregory two times, once at the Hollywood Bowl and his voice is a gift from God. His songs are so uplifting and he is the future of jazz and hopefully young people will be inspired by him. Thanks Gregory!!
Since 2919, I have been watching this live episode of Gregory. What I do not understand is that I kept coming back to rewatch it. "1960, what" will always get me nodding my head and tap my feet. When I am all alone, I even clap and sing along. I love this!
The Metropole Orkest's home base is in Hilversum, The Netherlands, but that does not take away from them being the world's best jazz and pop orchestra (orchestra meaning symphonic sections plus a jazz big band)
So very perfect! Perhaps my favorite performance on the tube. Won’t say how many times I have it on repeat! The Metropole Orchestra is simply the best there is. The talent oozing from every member is completely breathtaking. Who else better to compliment and bring out the talents of the incomparable Gregory Porter! Simply a match made in heaven!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥
By the time he got to the song "1960 What" I had chills running down my spine. Wow this entire concert was flawless. No doubt Gregory Porter is one of the Jazz greats and by the just the perfection of this performance he sure enough earned it.
+Carl Lowery Yes! When you hear so many of Porter's songs, you think they are classics he's covered - then you realize most of his songs are NEW CLASSICS he's written himself and sung - all the more amazing! Peerless talent.
+Dozer LA Exactly. All his songs aren't standards but instead are originals written by HIM! This guy is the new gold standard in music, as far as I'm concerned.
jazz is from old african word "jassie" and means the SOUL of a man... and Gregory means that.... beautiful, thanks for posting this extraordinary concert of extraortinary JAZZ man
Sorry. beautifully said but incorrect. Jazz is from the oral stories of the native Aborigines. oldest forms found in Louisiana. Sound of the earliest form is the "Blues".
This is by far the best live concert I have ever seen and heard. I was just recently turned on to Gregory Porter. What a voice! The accompanying orchestra is incredible. You're missing one of God's blessings by not watching this video.
116 dislikes? FOR REAL? This is one of the best performances online... no fake Autotune BS, no dancing needed, pure soul, passion, and ARTISTRY at it's best.
+Trent Austin Look man some folks like fake autotunes... they become distraught when they realise that there is no ass shaking and woob woob bases and autotunes... thats the way it is, just live with it :)
It could be poeple who don't like jazz or poeple who think that having this video on the site would be bad, because it potentialy steals money of the channel NTR by showing their content and not giving any money to them

I've been a big fan of Gregory Porter ever since his debut "Water" several years back, and so happy this concert was uploaded: it's simply fantastic, amazing, astonishing - his vocals, the tone, the phrasing, the warmth, the color, the sheer joy of performance - WOW!
This is just an amazing orchestra playing the most wonderful music. All the greats of jazz have performed with the Metropole from Stan Getz to Mark Murphy, Phil Woods to Clare Fischer, Bud Shank to Clarke Terry, Peter King to Bill Evans, Lee Konitz to Bob Brookmeyer and dozens more. They all loved the experience many returned time and time again. The BBC shed its Concert Orchestra on cost grounds and denied us the joy of sounds like this. Thank you to Dutch Radio at Hilversum for carrying on supporting this orchestra and the arrangers like Rob Pronk and Dolf Van der Linden, under the most difficult of circumstances. We need this music for our souls.
Incredible vocalist and a great performance. The Metropole Orchestra's arrangements that accompany many famous artists are so well done. Checkout other Metropole concerts with Todd Rundgren, Robert Glasper and Emilie Claire Barlow. I also agree with another comment- over 100 people listened to this and think it's worthy of thumbs down? I can't believe it.
He is a life-changing artist. I now compare everyone to his depth and beauty. My day is not complete without revisiting this concert. Thank you so much for sharing it.
This is indeed, a perfect demonstrative power of what God can do thru a man. He is a complete vocal instrument. It is almost monstrous how good Mr. Porter is. I am in tears! How Great!
Tout le concert est absolument exceptionnel ! Je ne me lasse pas de le réécouter... L’osmose entre Gregory Porter, l’orchestre et le public est unique et magique. Un temps au-delà du temps... L’énergie d’amour est palpable dans chaque note et chaque silence. Gregory est le capitaine du navire et il garde le cap de main de maître jusqu’au bout, emmenant tout l’équipage avec lui. Il est à ce jour, pour moi, le plus grand. En connexion directe avec la musique des sphères ! Merci infiniment pour ce partage 🙏❤️🌺
I've heard these arrangements with other orchestras he's played with and this is by far the most soulful, and best orchestra ever. It's hard to made Gregory Porter look bad, but this orchestra manages to elevate his performance. I'm already a Gregory Porter Fan and now a Metropole Orchestra fan. now.
I play and watch this video over and over. Absolutely soul stirring performances both by Gregory Porter and the Metropole Orchestra. I cannot get enough! I have purchased my ticket for the Hollywood Bowl, August 6th in Los Angeles. Sitting on pins and needles.
Some things leave you with a feeling that there is so much more that we experience on this side of life that can only be explained as a gift from God. I feel that Porter is on of those gifts. Thank you God for sharing through him.
Phillip Hunter and love is god. and the air is god. and espeacially your little brain is god. god is everything you want to be him. i dont want him in anyway and you see him in anything :).
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It's in everything, the world that turns, the sun that shines, the molecules, atoms and cells. It allows us to flow and function for the very short time we have on this tiny planet that is just one of infinite planets in this universe in one of many dimensions. God is just a euphemism for creator/creation. The wonderful gift Mr. Porter has is a gift from the creator/creation. The purpose of the gift is to raise the consciousness through spiritual evolution/growth....I feel the presence of the eternal when I hear Gregory sing. In my humble opinion, he truly has a gift from God/creator/creation/Highest consciousness/Eternal One/ Highest Power etc.... The spirit energy is the connective power of a song. It's the reason people buy cd's, go to concerts, jazz clubs, and listen to local bands at dive bars....it feeds the eternal soul given to us by the highest power. I Thank God for the great artists and music past, present, and future! Again I say God is Love!
I have only been introduced to Mr. Gregory Porter and I can't stop listening. His sound is clean and clear. The lyrics of his songs are simply beautiful. I am a fan!!!
thanks for sharing this performance. I think I have all of his cds but I can tell that this concert was awesome. Listen to the joy in his voice. Thanks again.
This is really really amazing... I'm glad I just happened to bump into this video. Not only is Gregory his usual perfect self but the orchestra behind him as well is phenomenal!
I love you Gregory Porter. My soul stirs when I listen to you sing. It's kind of like sliced bread, the best. I listen to this particular concert over and over because my daily bread is eaten right along side with this heavenly annointed man. This orchestra has one of the best brass sections that can keep company with the late James Brown's band. The trombone solos were off the charts.😁😁 Thanks for sharing your gifts with us.
I was Blessed to catch Mr. Porter on the radio, it was just near the end of his song I never heard before but his voice was unforgettable that I refuse to change the station in hope it would play again & I could hear who he was & the name of the song. Simply BEAUTIFUL, I am hoping to go to his performance soon.
soooooo refreshing to hear this kind of gift....and a clean artist, shooting straight from the heart. just got turned on to him by my son. can't get enough. could not sleep so at 3 o'clock am I'm up listening to gregory.
Wow -- so impressed by this group effort. Mr. Porter really thrives in the cooking setting the Metropole Orchestra provides. Listened to Work Song three times. Great soloists, but the arrangement and orchestra and Mr. Porter launches them. On another note, I used to think only Americans could play jazz. I was really mistaken. This rhythm section and these orchestra players are top notch.
I'm sooooo Blessed! God Bless U Gregory (and the orchestra)! Let these idiots argue over genre....if they understood they spirit, there would be no argument, only celebration! Gregory is trying to to connect you with the eternal...get hip to the vibe!
HO. LY. SWEET JE. SUS. How have I missed this artist in my life?!?!?! Mr. Porter you are a revelation. And thank you Metropole Orchestra for swinging with him. What a glorious experience it must have been.
Some of the very best grooves going on here..such a huge repeat offender..and it gets even more superb every time you play it! Thank you for sharing! Just brilliance!
That orchestra is fabulous! One of the few real singers in the world

I’ve only just discovered Gregory Porter, and I can’t get enough. I’ve been on UA-cam all day experiencing a daytime par-tay!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
In my life I have had to work with the Costers, Platers, Etta James and the Drifters. It was a great ride but I must confess, when i listen to this consort, "I can't feel the ground under my feet" He lifts me up.

Fully agree Daoud

weekendpikey though am no christian, i wholeheartedly concur,100% talent displayed by this fella

Daoud Haroon His music makes me think about aspects of humanity and love.
"Mother's Song" is a tear-jerker. Mr. Porter, with the Metropole Orchestra, is astonishing.
Oh man I cry… for my momma
Yes I agree . So beautiful

Metropole Orchestra is Fire! My favorite orchestra bar none. Brilliant!
I was really moved by a truly great performance. This should be made into a live album. It would sell well over a million copies.

Wow! I'm sitting at work listening to this beautiful brother singing and the band playing and I'm thanking God! This is great!

Perfect chemistry between a fabulous singer and a superb orchestra!
I totally agree that their chemistry is "body-awakening"!!! Just WOW!!! THIS IS A KEEPER!!!
Phenomenal talent. Touch special ear for this tapestry of music. Bravo.
Amazing -- when you can tell the orchestra is loving it!
Gregory Porter has the happiest face I have ever seen.... I love him
So good, exquisite. The Metropole orchestra is fantastic! A voice like Gregory Porter's comes along once in a generation.
This is what real singing is all about. He is absolutely fantastic! Good for you Gregory!
I am so excited about being able to see and hear Mr. Porter, a magical man voice perform in Houston Texas in September 2021. I can hardly contain the joy and delight within me of a great performance.

This man is a genius. I saw him in Charlotte NC a little while back. He is a true artist. His voice is just as good if not better LIVE.
This man is a complete monster. He is one of greatest to ever touch a microphone. One my all- time favorites and I grew up around some of the greatest to ever sing. Hats off to you, my brother!
HA! Great comment Lorenzo.
He is the greatest jazz,blue singer...very spiritual ....I love everything he does..his voice...the words..keep that spirit growing...
possessed by the ghosts
He claims that his bout with pneumonia as a child altered his voice and gave him his current tone. Glad he got through that illness, and I thank God his voice altered.

So proud, our dutch metropole
Magic. I have watched this video innumerable times. Gregory is a joy to behold... and... the band and arrangements are sublime. This is one of those perfect nights when everything "clicks" and everyone is performing at their best. Fantastic.
Gregory even controls the crowd..superb talent!
Same here. Trying to go to bed, in order to get up early but I can't turn him off. I'm hooked
so true
AWESOME.
Mike P my eyes teared up to such beauty and I’m a percussionist myself.. 1960 what?
I’ve heard this cut added to a deep house track ... WICKED!
But I never knew who it was until today.. just now.
What a brilliant performance by Gregory and the orchestra. Gregory never disappoints.
I was very impressed with this performance.
I have seen Gregory two times, once at the Hollywood Bowl and his voice is a gift from God. His songs are so uplifting and he is the future of jazz and hopefully young people will be inspired by him. Thanks Gregory!!
how right you are.....💯💯👍
I’m 24 years old listen to him for years! But I’m jazzy from my parents
You were correct 💯
Since 2919, I have been watching this live episode of Gregory. What I do not understand is that I kept coming back to rewatch it. "1960, what" will always get me nodding my head and tap my feet. When I am all alone, I even clap and sing along. I love this!
Who knew! I thought I knew all The jazz greats but this leaves me ... and Amsterdam's Metropole Orchestra is outstanding with Gregory Porter. Bravo!
The Metropole Orkest's home base is in Hilversum, The Netherlands, but that does not take away from them being the world's best jazz and pop orchestra (orchestra meaning symphonic sections plus a jazz big band)
GOOSE BUMPS!!! OMG!!! WHERE HAVE I BEEN!!! I LOVE HIS WORK! IT'S A GOD THING AND A GIFT FROM HIM!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 THANK YOU LORD FIR GREGORY! BLESS HIM!!!
So very perfect! Perhaps my favorite performance on the tube. Won’t say how many times I have it on repeat! The Metropole Orchestra is simply the best there is. The talent oozing from every member is completely breathtaking. Who else better to compliment and bring out the talents of the incomparable Gregory Porter! Simply a match made in heaven!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Who is orchestra
What pros
Mr Porter you
Are the best
Watch you day n nite
Yes so true and thank you
Fantastic concert from Mr Porter. One of the great voices of our time.
Metropole Orchestra is on point here! They got Gregory's back big time and he's loving it
SO WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!
By the time he got to the song "1960 What" I had chills running down my spine. Wow this entire concert was flawless. No doubt Gregory Porter is one of the Jazz greats and by the just the perfection of this performance he sure enough earned it.
Thomas Patterson HE is a beast of a writer and singer....
+Thomas Patterson The recording is very solid, as well ... didn't expect that for a live recording on You-Tube.
+Thomas Patterson I call Gregory the Voice of the Millennium!!! chills all over..23:00 ff
+Carl Lowery Yes! When you hear so many of Porter's songs, you think they are classics he's covered - then you realize most of his songs are NEW CLASSICS he's written himself and sung - all the more amazing! Peerless talent.
+Dozer LA Exactly. All his songs aren't standards but instead are originals written by HIM! This guy is the new gold standard in music, as far as I'm concerned.

Sorry. beautifully said but incorrect. Jazz is from the oral stories of the native Aborigines. oldest forms found in Louisiana. Sound of the earliest form is the "Blues".
A TRULY AMERICAN EXPERIENCE. NATIVE AMERICAN.
Never heard that One!? Did you perhaps make that connection, yourself? Validify please, it "sounds Nice but I'm a Skeptic
This is by far the best live concert I have ever seen and heard. I was just recently turned on to Gregory Porter. What a voice! The accompanying orchestra is incredible. You're missing one of God's blessings by not watching this video.
Wonderful concert! Amazing fusion between a great jazz singer and an excellent orchestra. ***Addicted***
i understand! i come back every few days to get a hit!
116 dislikes? FOR REAL?
This is one of the best performances online... no fake Autotune BS, no dancing needed, pure soul, passion, and ARTISTRY at it's best.

I can only imagine it is a thumb down for the audio. Could be sharper. Still grateful for the upload. He is amazing (and so is the orchestra).
They have dyslexia, and always folks who purposely post negative just to help their ownself

"Be good" and the the song following tore through my heart...a complete waterfall upon my face. The orchestra is nothing short of amazing or SUPERB.
SO WONDERFUL!!!!!!!
I've been a big fan of Gregory Porter ever since his debut "Water" several years back, and so happy this concert was uploaded: it's simply fantastic, amazing, astonishing - his vocals, the tone, the phrasing, the warmth, the color, the sheer joy of performance - WOW!
a beautiful spirit... he does not just sing he prays....a true gift for all of us to enjoy!
Singing is a cosmically beautiful evolutionary gift; prayer is meaningless and inconsequential folklore!
@@Leonardo-ql1qu God Bless you
This is just an amazing orchestra playing the most wonderful music. All the greats of jazz have performed with the Metropole from Stan Getz to Mark Murphy, Phil Woods to Clare Fischer, Bud Shank to Clarke Terry, Peter King to Bill Evans, Lee Konitz to Bob Brookmeyer and dozens more.

The singing is great, but this orchestra is outstanding, each solo is right on the money. Good music will always be good, thank you Gregory Porter.
he makes my heart sing * thank You Gregory for sharing your love *
Music is my therapy...Gregory Porter is a SPECIALIST...FOOD FOR THE SOUL...SIMPLY AMAZING..!!!
outstanding artist that has sheer talent and dexterity, a music genius.
Incredible vocalist and a great performance. The Metropole Orchestra's arrangements that accompany many famous artists are so well done. Checkout other Metropole concerts with Todd Rundgren, Robert Glasper and Emilie Claire Barlow.
I also agree with another comment- over 100 people listened to this and think it's worthy of thumbs down? I can't believe it.
Don’t let that bother you. It’s not their fault, they have perfect 👂-NO HOLES
So impressed by this man....words can't express this gifting!
His music is so soothing and beautiful. I am a fan♥️♥️♥️
All I can say is WOW!!!! His voice just takes me back to my childhood. His voice is so pure and clean.
He is a life-changing artist. I now compare everyone to his depth and beauty. My day is not complete without revisiting this concert. Thank you so much for sharing it.
This is indeed, a perfect demonstrative power of what God can do thru a man. He is a complete vocal instrument. It is almost monstrous how good Mr. Porter is. I am in tears! How Great!
Please keep your imaginary fascist friend 'god' out of this deeply beautiful human experience!
Tout le concert est absolument exceptionnel ! Je ne me lasse pas de le réécouter... L’osmose entre Gregory Porter, l’orchestre et le public est unique et magique. Un temps au-delà du temps... L’énergie d’amour est palpable dans chaque note et chaque silence. Gregory est le capitaine du navire et il garde le cap de main de maître jusqu’au bout, emmenant tout l’équipage avec lui. Il est à ce jour, pour moi, le plus grand. En connexion directe avec la musique des sphères ! Merci infiniment pour ce partage 🙏❤️🌺
I've heard these arrangements with other orchestras he's played with and this is by far the most soulful, and best orchestra ever. It's hard to made Gregory Porter look bad, but this orchestra manages to elevate his performance. I'm already a Gregory Porter Fan and now a Metropole Orchestra fan. now.
His voice is a full COURSE MEAL....down to dessert....AMAZING.....#newfav
Glad to have found Mr. Porter and his voice. This concert is marvelous.
1960 What Trumpet Soloist was going off!!! I absolutely love Porter and the Metropole Orchestra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the upload
Whoever has arranged this music from his original versions is an absolute musical beast! The sax solos are KILLERS!
The Metropole Orkest is a totally hot band. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropole_Orkest
Agreed. I thought I was listening to a Steely Dan album with all the premo sax solos. Lol
Tenor player is very good .
AMEN
NO NOl
I play and watch this video over and over. Absolutely soul stirring performances both by Gregory Porter and the Metropole Orchestra. I cannot get enough!
I have purchased my ticket for the Hollywood Bowl, August 6th in Los Angeles. Sitting on pins and needles.
Some things leave you with a feeling that there is so much more that we experience on this side of life that can only be explained as a gift from God. I feel that Porter is on of those gifts. Thank you God for sharing through him.
no its not god. its love that connects to you. its feelings you feel through his voice.
and if there is a god he would just listen and feel good.

and love is god. and the air is god. and espeacially your little brain is god. god is everything you want to be him. i dont want him in anyway and you see him in anything :).
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It's in everything, the world that turns, the sun that shines, the molecules, atoms and cells. It allows us to flow and function for the very short time we have on this tiny planet that is just one of infinite planets in this universe in one of many dimensions. God is just a euphemism for creator/creation.
The wonderful gift Mr. Porter has is a gift from the creator/creation. The purpose of the gift is to raise the consciousness through spiritual evolution/growth....I feel the presence of the eternal when I hear Gregory sing.
In my humble opinion, he truly has a gift from God/creator/creation/Highest consciousness/Eternal One/ Highest Power
etc....
The spirit energy is the connective power of a song. It's the reason people buy cd's, go to concerts, jazz clubs, and listen to local bands at dive bars....it feeds the eternal soul given to us by the highest power. I Thank God for the great artists and music past, present, and future! Again I say God is Love!
I have only been introduced to Mr. Gregory Porter and I can't stop listening. His sound is clean and clear. The lyrics of his songs are simply beautiful. I am a fan!!!
thanks for sharing this performance. I think I have all of his cds but I can tell that this concert was awesome. Listen to the joy in his voice. Thanks again.
Wow - what a beautiful, soulful voice!!! Great performance by all!
This MAN Sings His Songs With The Soul Of Our Divine Creator Amazingly, Smoothly Beautifully!... Truthfully Filled With Love Thankyou!
This is really really amazing... I'm glad I just happened to bump into this video. Not only is Gregory his usual perfect self but the orchestra behind him as well is phenomenal!
Greg Porter is The Greatest Since Sliced Wheat Bread. And That Cat on The Sax is Cold Blooded. I'm Digging All Of This ❤🍃

oh boy can this guy sing.absolute class.a breath of fresh air.many thanks.
I love you Gregory Porter. My soul stirs when I listen to you sing. It's kind of like sliced bread, the best. I listen to this particular concert over and over because my daily bread is eaten right along side with this heavenly annointed man.
This orchestra has one of the best brass sections that can keep company with the late James Brown's band. The trombone solos were off the charts.😁😁
Thanks for sharing your gifts with us.
I was Blessed to catch Mr. Porter on the radio, it was just near the end of his song I never heard before but his voice was unforgettable that I refuse to change the station in hope it would play again & I could hear who he was & the name of the song. Simply BEAUTIFUL, I am hoping to go to his performance soon.
A sublime performance by both artist and orchestra! The arrangements are awesome. Wish I had been there.
Power and on the money, One of the best. Very moving. The messages he sings are very deep. Good work and a great orchestra.
Gregory Porter is an amazing talent. The orchestra is clearly enjoying his brilliant music and energy
soooooo refreshing to hear this kind of gift....and a clean artist, shooting straight from the heart. just got turned on to him by my son. can't get enough. could not sleep so at 3 o'clock am I'm up listening to gregory.
He is now my FAVORITE new vocalist of the year. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
He has bowled me over and is my favorite artist. Great singer and wonderful songwriter
This man and all of the music behind him is a refreshment to today’s music and is a super super replacement
Wow -- so impressed by this group effort. Mr. Porter really thrives in the cooking setting the Metropole Orchestra provides. Listened to Work Song three times. Great soloists, but the arrangement and orchestra and Mr. Porter launches them. On another note, I used to think only Americans could play jazz. I was really mistaken. This rhythm section and these orchestra players are top notch.
Awesome concert, vocalist, orchestra, audience!
I sit in front of my computer and wish I was there. Amazing!!!
I'm hooked on Gregory Porter…for about a week now! OMG!
I'm sooooo Blessed!
God Bless U Gregory (and the orchestra)!
Let these idiots argue over genre....if they understood they spirit, there would
be no argument, only celebration!
Gregory is trying to to connect you with the eternal...get hip to the vibe!
Really well composed pieces, back by a most beautiful voice.
HO. LY. SWEET JE. SUS. How have I missed this artist in my life?!?!?! Mr. Porter you are a revelation. And thank you Metropole Orchestra for swinging with him. What a glorious experience it must have been.
Some of the very best grooves going on here..such a huge repeat offender..and it gets even more superb every time you play it! Thank you for sharing! Just brilliance!
The metrópole y gregory.gran show.mil gracias!!!!! Hermoso!¡!!
