Sunday Night Is Music Night is very proud to present 'Gregory Porter and Friends' at the London Coliseum. Gregory Porter is a modern jazz singer with a classic jazz pedigree. Born and raised in Sacramento and then Bakersfield, he began singing in church where his mother was a minister. After a shoulder injury forced him out of a career in American football, he began singing in Brooklyn and then Harlem, releasing two albums before being signed by the famous Blue Note label. Since then he has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame. His gold album Liquid Spirit reaching the UK top ten and winning a Grammy in 2014. Countless concerts and appearances have followed, including the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury. In tonight's concert he brings his extraordinary vocal talent to a selection of songs made famous by his idol Nat King Cole, as well as his own award-winning songs, contemporary classics, and standards from the Great American Song Book, including songs by Hoagy Carmichael and Ray Charles. With special guests Imelda May and Tony Momrelle, the sixty-piece 鲍鱼tv Concert Orchestra and the 鲍鱼tv Big Band, conducted by Mike Reed, this will be an extraordinary night to remember.
First broadcast in February 2018
