Gregory Porter: Water

"Porter brings his personal touch mainly through his own vocal color, which is oriented to the blues and gospel. He is accompanied by fellow musicians from the New York scene, who create the typical jazz atmosphere on the album with trumpet, saxophone, piano and drums. Particularly noteworthy is the great alternation between snappy songs ("Pretty", "Black Nile") and slower pieces ("Skylark", "But Beautiful"), similar to the tides ebbing and flowing, which accommodates the CD title "Water"."
