Gregory Porter

Description

The most fitting description of Gregory Porter comes from 'Deutschlandfunk Kultur' and simply calls him the 'figurehead of current jazz'. The towering singer with the velvety baritone is truly a phenomenon. Porter is often considered a late bloomer, as his career only really took off after the age of 40. He simply had to breathe in a lot of life to shape his deeply empathetic, soft, and touching voice: as a football player, a chef, or a cast member of a Broadway show. Since then, he has been nominated for the Grammy record-breaking eight times in 16 years, winning twice. His songs are of high social-political relevance and are indeed of solution-oriented beauty. In short: this man is an event. The event is presented by the main sponsor of Enjoy Jazz, PHOENIX group.
