"Be Good"

Just 15 months after Gregory Porter released his debut album “Water”, he has developed into one of the world's most successful male jazz singers. In addition to a Grammy nomination in the "Best Jazz Vocal Album" category, words of praise from artists such as Jamie Cullum, Nicola Conte or Klaus Doldinger and a first place in the "Album of the Year" list by the influential British magazine Jazzwise, Gregory Porter also look back on acclaimed concerts at the most important jazz festivals in Europe. A grandiose appearance on the English late night show "Later With Jools Holland" even catapulted his debut album on # 1 of the iTunes Jazz Charts.

The New York Times writes: "Gregory Porter has everything you expect from a male jazz singer, maybe even some things that you didn't expect."

"Be Good" is the second album by the exceptional singer, on which Porter is accompanied by Chip Crawford (piano), Aaron James (bass), Emanuel Harrold (drums) and Yosuke Sato (saxophone).

With a combination of outstanding songwriting, great lyrics and his unique baritone voice, Porter manages not only to meet the high expectations placed on his new album, but to exceed them. On “Be Good” you will find energetic pieces full of strength like “Work Song”, sensitive ballads like the first single “Be Good (Lion´s Song)” as well as soulful pieces like “On My Way To Harlem”. Porter's new work was produced by Brian Bacchus, the wind arrangements were written by Kamau Kenyatta, who can also be heard on the piece “Painted on Canvas”.

Gregory Porter was born in Los Angeles, grew up in Bakersfield and now lives in New York. As a young man, he moved to San Diego, where the strong Porter was selected for a football scholarship. A shoulder injury, however, put a spanner in the works, the dream of a professional career in the NFL had collapsed.

Looking for new challenges, his singing career began in small jazz clubs in San Diego, where he soon discovered and was hired for various musicals. So he was very successfully engaged for several years in the Broadway musical "It Ain't Nothin 'But the Blues" before his career as a solo artist began.
