Now available in a high fidelity X2 LP pack with CD. Gregory Porter is a deep-voiced vocalist from Bakersfield, California. There's an obvious debt to Kurt Elling but Porter seems relatively unbound by technique, sounding less mannered and more soulful as a result. On the stand-out '1960 what?' there's a touch of Gil Scott-Heron, while the opening original, 'Illusion', and the standards 'Skylark' and 'But Beautiful' showcase his warm intonation and sexily swooning, Billy Eckstine ballad style.
