I assumed Gregory Porter was a jazz singer, but I didn’t really know what to expect. I was a bit surprised to see him come out on the stage in a balaclava and hat (like in the photo). Did he have a cold or something? It turns out that it is some kind of trademark.
Even in a balaclava, he is an excellent baritone singer with superb control of his voice. He had a solid backup band, except that I don’t really think he needed the Hammond organ. In spite of that, I didn’t really enjoy the concert. The songs didn’t resonate, except Mona Lisa. Maybe I just didn’t know them well enough?
