With his fifth GRAMMY Awards nomination in hand just yesterday morning, Gregory Porter is one of the most celebrated modern jazz singers -- but also one of the genre's rare crossover artists this decade. His latest release, Take Me To The Alley, is nominated for Best Jazz Vocal album. "Gregory Porter exemplifies everything the TD Winnipeg International Jazz Festival is about," says Executive Director Lynne Stefanchuk. "His music captures the skill and soul involved in classic jazz with a warmth and soul that will draw in any listener. His new album is incredible and we're so pleased to bring him back to Winnipeg."
Porter and his rafter-raising baritone are as at home on stage at Buckingham Palace as a music festival on the beaches of Ibiza. Proving his broad appeal, his 2014 GRAMMY Award-winning album Liquid Spirit and his duet with electronic music duo Disclosure appeared simultaneously on the British charts this year.
Whether devoted listeners who have been following career from his first critically-acclaimed album or a new fan, Winnipeggers will not going to want to miss the opportunity to see Gregory Porter live this summer.
The TD Winnipeg International Jazz Festival will once again return to the Exchange District to welcome summer and kick off the festival season from June 15-25, 2017. Set to once again fill the downtown with the electric energy of tens of thousands of people, the festival features dozens of shows celebrating local talent and international superstars.
Tickets and passes are available at the Jazz Winnipeg office at 100 Arthur Street, at jazzwinnipeg.com, or by calling 204.989.4656. Tickets for Burton Cummings Theatre Shows will also be available through Ticketmaster.
