presents the deluxe edition of his Grammy Award winning album ‘Liquid
Spirit’. This fantastic new edition contains a new version of his
popular track ‘Water Under Bridges’ re-worked as a duet with Laura
Mvula, a cover of ‘Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood’ where he duets with
Jamie Cullum and also a wonderful cover of Bill Withers’ ‘Grandma’s
Hands’ featuring Ben L’Oncle Soul. Featured on the CD is also the 20Syl
remix of Porter’s title track, ‘Liquid Spirit’. There is a bonus disc
with 5 videos taken from a live concert at Stadtpark Freilichtbuehne
Hamburg, Germany 2014 and are performances of Grandma’s Hands, Hoochie
Coochie Man, She Was Good To Me, Someday We’ll All Be Free and Work
Song.
There's no question that Gregory Porter is rapidly becoming a major
figure in the jazz world, winning a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal in 2014
and being nominated for a host of great awards since 'Liquid Spirit' was
released last year. Rightly so too, as there's no denying the
sophistication, elegance and supreme professionalism of 'Liquid Spirit'
that oozes class. Porter has the perfect jazz band to suit his wonderful
soulful delivery and his lyrics are to be respected. Recognising the
achievement of 'Liquid Spirit', a Deluxe version has recently been
released on Blue Note, featuring the supremely talented Laura Mvula,
award winning jazz star Jamie Cullum, Ben L'Oncle Soul and a remix by
20Syl.
I first noticed Gregory Porter with his classic track '1960 What?' which
immediately got my attention; the vibe and groove was so funky and
familiar, as well as being totally sophisticated. There's no doubt the
jazz, soul and funk influences come from some the very best with song
writing that creates such a rich mood and unforgettable sound. 'No Love
Dying' is such a classy song that every element in the band from piano
and double bass to drums and trumpet, wonderfully interweave to
perfection, with stunning vocals and lyrics from Porter. The album
progresses with the infectious, upbeat swing of title track 'Liquid
Spirit' and great musicianship on 'Lonesome River'. However, 'Water
Under Bridges' is simply stunning; a beautiful melody and features
alongside a bonus version on this Deluxe album with Laura Mvula
delivering her wonderful style to such a memorable song. Previously
released track 'Hey Laura' is another fantastic track portraying love,
denial and heartbreak. The album continues with more shades of jazz,
upbeat and epic displays of great heartfelt lyrics and wonderful
melodies.
'Liquid Spirit' is an amazing album with so many stand-out moments, all
superbly crafted to provoke warmth, serenity and space for
contemplation. The Deluxe version contains extras like 'Don't Let Me Be
Misunderstood' and 'Grandma's Hand's' featuring other great artists as
well as a bonus DVD; so if haven't already got it, you might be
encouraged to buy it... and you won't be disappointed. 'Liquid Spirit'
is pretty much a perfect jazz album all round but with great crossover
appeal for a wider demographic. Some of the duets on the Deluxe version
were a little questionable at times, but they didn't take away that it
is an outstanding piece of work by a very talented man with a great
band. Having released 3 albums since 2012, it seems to me Gregory Porter
is only going to get better and we're very excited about the next
instalment from him.
