Crowned as "....the next big male vocal jazz star" by Allmusic.com, Gregory Porter
will celebrate the success of his Motéma Music debut CD, Water, at Dizzy's Club
Coca Cola at Jazz at Lincoln Center on November 15.

The show coincides with the release of the first video from the CD, for the song
"Illusion." Written and directed by the team of Loyd Porter and Shawn Peters,
the video can be seen on the Motema channel on YouTube.

Released in May of 2010, Water has earned Porter incredible accolades from jazz
and soul media. "Warmth coats every line of Gregory Porter's intimate jazz and
soul debut. Hints of Nat King Cole bleed through Porter's articulate phrasing, but
the weight of Joe Williams and the spiritualism of Bill Withers resonates, too....Porter's
conviction and traditionalism....delivers another refreshing, contemporary male
jazz voice worth savoring." raved Creative Loafing Atlanta. The Urban Flux blog
said, "Porter's versatility is simply amazing...a graceful endeavor that mirrors
the accomplishments of his predecessors with unrivaled artistry."
