About

Gregory Porter is without a doubt one of the hottest jazz vocalists around right now. In March 2015 he’ll join UMO on Helsinki Hall of Culture stage as the orchestra celebrates its 40th year.
Gregory Porter (b. 1971) is an American singer-songwriter whose stylish, emotional and evocative style of singing has made him a hit with critics and music fans alike. Porter looks to giants of jazz vocalism in the vein of Nat King Cole and Joe Williams for inspiration, combining jazz and soul in a way that perfectly suits his deep, warm and earthy voice.
”The next great jazz singer”, ”the best there is right now” and ”an unbelievable talent as both a singer and a composer” are the sort of epithets often attached to Porter, who sells out rooms all around the world, so it’s no wonder everyone wants a piece of him right now....
