Liquid Spirit

Product Information

Hailed by public and critics alike, Liquid Spirit won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album in 2014 and has sold over a million copies worldwide. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. In fact this could be easier listening for anybody new to Gregory Porter, than the two previous albums. He is now, appropriately enough on Blue Note - as this is clearly the sound that Gregory Porter loves - all those classic albums on that label, from the period when Jazz was the popular music of the day. Each part gets a share of the gospel harmonies and your singers need to be on their toes with rhythm and timing.

A wide range of music styles can be found on this album - jazz, gospel, ballad, blues, soul - which help paint a pallet of images and textures for the listener. So for me Gregory … lets have more of this… it’s unique and refreshing…and transcends your earlier mainstream jazz albums. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.The sound is more Blues-Soul than Jazz which is where the problem possibly lies with the purists, but the superb “stripped back acoustic” sound makes this a very intimate listen. Berlin based enigma Claptone has just announced to the world that a new remix of Gregory Porter is coming out soon. It won the best 2014 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album, and reached top 10 in Denmark, Germany, Netherlands and the UK. Do yourself a favour, if you're feeling stressed, pour yourself a drink of your choosing and put this album on. The band accompany his buttery smooth vocals beautifully, not pulling attention away from his voice but playing with enough flair to make you smile at their artistry in every song.

Alongside our coffee beans, we can also supply your business with commercial machinery and also provide machines installation, service, repair and water filters. John Fordham of The Guardian stated 'It's a better balanced Porter album than formerly, and as classily polished and confident as is usual from Blue Note. Liquid Spirit is a metaphor for water, when something is liquid it’s quick at hand so it’s like having that energy and that spirit and that soul accessible. Recommencing with the water analogy that characterized his debut disc, Porter saw Liquid Spirit as a logical progression in his burgeoning discography as it touched on some of the same themes, particularly the highs and lows of romance, his childhood, and socio-political observations.Now, Saxes and Trumpet are relegated to more of a supporting role as horn section, rather than featured soloists, as they were on tracks like "Work Song". This is still evident to some extent and Chip Crawford, as main collaborator and pianist is excellent throughout - whether as accompanist or soloist. We are happy to share our knowledge and passion with you, providing expertise and support for your new or evolving business. A good place to start would be the middle 8 to establish the feel, after that you might want to get the chorus under your belt.

The Independent's Phil Johnson noted "The soulful vocalist follows his two excellent indie albums with a major-label debut that contains few surprises yet deepens the story so far". Gregory reaches inside your mind with an honesty that is rare with so many over-produced albums these days. Mike Hobart of Financial Times wrote "Gregory Porter ’s largely self-penned major label debut is an artful and free-spirited blend of love songs, social commentary and reflections on life.

While the whole may not have the impact of the previous two albums, it's still a huge pleasure to have new material from Gregory Porter and further chances to hear that wonderful voice. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Of course, he has such an amazing voice that this is all justified - but what made him stand out from the crowd before, was the Jazz musicianship and sophistication.
