Gregory Porter – Take Me To The Alley
There is a deep, timeless quality to
the voice of Gregory Porter, the tone of which is warm, comforting, rich and
reassuring. Gregory and the distinguished musicians, who support him, transport me to another era, where classic jazz
is played in smoky clubs, finger snapping punters nod to the music, and velvety vocals hang delicately in the
air. Gregory projects his soul in a different way to Charles Bradley for
instance, as his voice is rooted in jazz. It is measured, full, controlled and
calm but resonates joyfully. You know what you are going to get with a Gregory Porter record and Take
Me To The Alley is no exception. It oozes class. It would be interesting to
hear him push himself in another direction to see where he ends up. We are
lucky to have a voice like Gregory Porter singing in the world today. A true
gentleman and a truly soulful jazz man.
