That orchestra is fabulous! One of the few real singers in the world

[@pnojazz]

I’ve only just discovered Gregory Porter, and I can’t get enough. I’ve been on KZbin all day experiencing a daytime par-tay!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@pgonzo98]

from my very own hometown of bakersfield ca. we're so proud of you my brother. please honor us with a local performance.we want to embrace your brilliance...

[@bigbagoforanges]

It's crazy how often I rewatch this. It's the best anxiety-reducing music I've found. It always puts me in a better head space. Gregory Porter is a master.

[@austincustom]

Amen

[@patsmythe]

Very true...

[@marceneogawa7617]

Amen 🙏🏾🩷👩🏾‍🦱👩🏾‍🎨

[@MkhulLanngeni-oi3lh]

Great stuff.

[@RayLandry-zp8jg]

In my life I have had to work with the Costers, Platers, Etta James and the Drifters. It was a great ride but I must confess, when i listen to this consort, "I can't feel the ground under my feet" He lifts me up.

[@lulsmurf]

I was a co-worker this weekend at cactusfestival in Bruges where he performed. I had the privilege to shake his handat the backstage and tell him how much I appreciated his concert. A very kind and warm person with an amazing talent. One of the best concerts I've ever seen !!

[@jean-lucsimon1318]

bruges IN France OR IN bELGIUM ?

[@lulsmurf]

In Belgium :)

[@dm-mx2we]

The goodness in all people all around the world is put into the lyrics and music of Gregory Porter, all from the heart. His fame is not only because of his talent; fans love his work because his work touches what everyone wants life to be on this Earth, but just can't achieve. So listening to him is a sweet sadness and joy bringing tears of joy and sadness to each and every one of us who connect with the desire, the thought, the feeling, the need to make a connection with life as it was meant to be. Peace.

[@abovebeyondandforever6571]

I just discovered his live performances, and I am amazed, if I get the chance to see him live, I will certainly go. You made a beautiful comment by the way.

[@dorothyjohnson576]

I can listen to this performance every day! I love Gregory Porter and that Orchestra. I 'm so glad I found him! He makes my day. Thank you..

[@onewoman4274]

Metropole Orchestra is Fire! My favorite orchestra bar none. Brilliant!

[@gwloganpoet]

Gregory Porter is a throw-back to the jazz era when we had great singers. A friend gave me his first album and I fell in love with Gregory singing. I look forward to more great music from him.

[@andregodsey4557]

"Mother's Song" is a tear-jerker. Mr. Porter, with the Metropole Orchestra, is astonishing.

[@callumnicholson2857]

Oh man I cry… for my momma

[@denisemuhammad8721]

Greg Porter is The Greatest Since Sliced Wheat Bread. And That Cat on The Sax is Cold Blooded. I'm Digging All Of This ❤🍃

[@anghoppi]

Awesome concert, vocalist, orchestra, audience!

[@gwloganpoet]

The singing is great, but this orchestra is outstanding, each solo is right on the money. Good music will always be good, thank you Gregory Porter.

[@bstuard1566]

The French horn at 9:35 and the runs are stellar then the interplay with the sax just takes it to another level!!!!!!!

[@aaronmatson6430]

Not to be too nitpicky, but that's actually a flugelhorn, which is generally considered to be a little bit more like a trumpet than a french horn. Some might say that it is halfway "between" a trumpet and french horn. It is a really nice bit of collective improv for sure!

[@bstuard1566]

No problem and you are not being nit-picky at all. I would rather be corrected than to be allowed to be wrong. Thanks for the info A Mat!

[@brettino248]

classy

[@bladejms]

Loving Gregory Porter's vocals but this orchestra is mind blowing indeed!

[@deniseanken]

So proud, our dutch metropole

[@nkule2493]

Gregory Porter though 😍👏 The orchestra itself is amazing 👏👏👏

[@NueNues]

When music is pure and genuine, it creates an ambiance that speaks it own language without words! Simply beautiful....

[@brushjunkie]

A sublime performance by both artist and orchestra! The arrangements are awesome. Wish I had been there.

[@jayumebuani6598]

Don't know how many times I've watched this....what vocal finesse......and the orchestra who show you that they are enjoying what they are doing!

[@thereasebrown7609]

“WOW”

[@robertahunter7960]

Who knew! I thought I knew all The jazz greats but this leaves me ... and Amsterdam's Metropole Orchestra is outstanding with Gregory Porter. Bravo!

[@freddekker5589]

The Metropole Orkest's home base is in Hilversum, The Netherlands, but that does not take away from them being the world's best jazz and pop orchestra (orchestra meaning symphonic sections plus a jazz big band)

[@bryantfeggins1861]

This BROTHER IS AMAZINGLY AMAZING.

[@sarahharris7662]

A mother who's life lifted up me....that was my mother. This song has so much emotion for me, and I can tell by the way Gregory performed this song, that it was emotional for him also. Great talent!!!

[@dominicbeaubrun4496]

A beautiful composition!!!!!

[@troyscott42]

Name of song please

[@KlaRa474]

Did have the honor to hear him with the Metropole Orchestra in Munich, Tollwood Festival just yesterday. I guess this was the very best concert i heard for years. Greg is a singer of extraordinary quality with a wonderful stage presence. Also the Orchestra is playing on such a high level that i wished they would play all night through. This is real music, these are real musicians. God thanks for this evening, i´ll never forget it. Thank you Greg for your voice and for your songs!

[@glennfromthebronx]

+KlaRa474 I would pay with my "eye teeth" to have been at the concert rehearsal. I just saw Gregory Porter at Carnegie Hall/nyc 2 weeks ago at a Bill Wither's tribute. He was terrific... duetted with Valerie Simpson on one song...and took over the microphone on the final song. Whew!

[@Uzone62]

Just discovered this concert and have to say I loved every minute. The enthusiasm and appreciation of the audience, along with this amazing orchestra and of course the sublime Gregory Porter. An absolute treat to watch and listen to. Thankyou to all the musicians and to Mr Porter. Hope I will one day get to see you live 💛✨💛✨💛✨

[@Lifetheatre34]

Gregory Porter is amazing! The orchestra is so superb! They make great team! I watch this concert 20 times, and I'll watch it a 1000 times again. I love good music. Not factory music but that music that remind you of that old great wine. Go head Gregory Porter! Go head!

[@cavitta934]

I love this man!

[@unitabusby8039]

The above statement expresses my sentiment exactly! Great music seldom heard these days. Love it!

[@unitabusby8039]

Marcus Webb. Well said!!!

[@adriankorsner]

This is just an amazing orchestra playing the most wonderful music. All the greats of jazz have performed with the Metropole from Stan Getz to Mark Murphy, Phil Woods to Clare Fischer, Bud Shank to Clarke Terry, Peter King to Bill Evans, Lee Konitz to Bob Brookmeyer and dozens more. They all loved the experience many returned time and time again. The BBC shed its Concert Orchestra on cost grounds and denied us the joy of sounds like this. Thank you to Dutch Radio at Hilversum for carrying on supporting this orchestra and the arrangers like Rob Pronk and Dolf Van der Linden, under the most difficult of circumstances. We need this music for our souls.

[@yung4evr]

You just witnessed one of the greatest live jazz perfomances in the history of the genre.

[@joyinthemakingcraftcafe2896]

thanks for sharing this performance. I think I have all of his cds but I can tell that this concert was awesome. Listen to the joy in his voice. Thanks again.

[@waynepeor]

Wow! I'm sitting at work listening to this beautiful brother singing and the band playing and I'm thanking God! This is great!

[@arnoldholmes5800]

Power and on the money, One of the best. Very moving. The messages he sings are very deep. Good work and a great orchestra.

[@laslatty1016]

After you listen to music like this.....don’t you just want to go out in the world...and throw rose petals around and love everybody? Tell the truth!!!!!!

[@Dlwinborne]

I absolutely agree with your assessment. This music has made me feel love, hope and peace… This is as close to perfection as a music set can get! Gregory Porter is Simply, Simply Sublime!

[@sharonpeterson1006]

Yup!!!

[@coachpowell8691]

This man is a genius. I saw him in Charlotte NC a little while back. He is a true artist. His voice is just as good if not better LIVE.

[@clayetownmusic7791]

I was really moved by a truly great performance. This should be made into a live album. It would sell well over a million copies.

[@patrickjamessimpson7268]

doesn't get any better than this. just amazing moving music.

[@franklinmix2455]

Gregory Porter is an amazing talent. The orchestra is clearly enjoying his brilliant music and energy

[@tnso.baumes.sonores]

Tout le concert est absolument exceptionnel ! Je ne me lasse pas de le réécouter... L’osmose entre Gregory Porter, l’orchestre et le public est unique et magique. Un temps au-delà du temps... L’énergie d’amour est palpable dans chaque note et chaque silence. Gregory est le capitaine du navire et il garde le cap de main de maître jusqu’au bout, emmenant tout l’équipage avec lui. Il est à ce jour, pour moi, le plus grand. En connexion directe avec la musique des sphères ! Merci infiniment pour ce partage 🙏❤️🌺

[@deborahvargas3850]

GOOSE BUMPS!!! OMG!!! WHERE HAVE I BEEN!!! I LOVE HIS WORK! IT'S A GOD THING AND A GIFT FROM HIM!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 THANK YOU LORD FIR GREGORY! BLESS HIM!!!

[@drstew1]

Gregory Porter is magnificent. And I love the flick of music sheet 8:21 from the Conductor. Wow on Sax then trumpet. When you got soul you soul...

[@360drob]

soooooo refreshing to hear this kind of gift....and a clean artist, shooting straight from the heart. just got turned on to him by my son. can't get enough. could not sleep so at 3 o'clock am I'm up listening to gregory.

[@biofillea]

HO. LY. SWEET JE. SUS. How have I missed this artist in my life?!?!?! Mr. Porter you are a revelation. And thank you Metropole Orchestra for swinging with him. What a glorious experience it must have been.

[@pauldegallerie975]

outstanding artist that has sheer talent and dexterity, a music genius.

[@denicetodd4314]

I play and watch this video over and over. Absolutely soul stirring performances both by Gregory Porter and the Metropole Orchestra. I cannot get enough! I have purchased my ticket for the Hollywood Bowl, August 6th in Los Angeles. Sitting on pins and needles.

[@cynthiamoore2243]

I was Blessed to catch Mr. Porter on the radio, it was just near the end of his song I never heard before but his voice was unforgettable that I refuse to change the station in hope it would play again & I could hear who he was & the name of the song. Simply BEAUTIFUL, I am hoping to go to his performance soon.

[@newsomeq5a]

Glad to have found Mr. Porter and his voice. This concert is marvelous.

[@mbrown7240]

I am so excited about being able to see and hear Mr. Porter, a magical man voice perform in Houston Texas in September 2021. I can hardly contain the joy and delight within me of a great performance. A dear friend and I are traveling to Houston from Colorado to hear this magnificent Jazz singer and performer at the Arena Theater. What a great way and a golden opportunity to have a girls get away and have some great fun at a concert in another state!

[@veragoessel8703]

Люблю этот голос, разнообразие, азарт, эксперименты в музыкальных стилях, ремиксы, позитив, драйв! Грегори лучший! Хочу попасть на концерт )))

[@jeffreyclyburn5652]

what a performance... the crowd's reaction during and after Mother's Song tells a tale.

[@michaelterrell1397]

Such beautiful work

[@matlhatsesetshogoe9075]

Gregory has just been confirmed for the NSJF in Rotterdam 2014. I'll be there to watch him. What a voice. what a talent.

[@Themancebo1]

God, in His infinite wisdom sends angels to earth to remind us to turn our eyes and ears to higher Things. Gregory Porter is one of those special gifts sent to us to touch our hearts and bring joyful tears to our eyes. I pray That God Bless him at every turn.

[@weekendpikey]

Don't know how I slept on this guy...But glad I finally heard him sing...and the Orchestra is so good...!!!

[@adelaidekestrel9498]

loving Gregory Porter. his music is so pure...I mean that in a musical sense.

[@DennisHicks]

He is now my FAVORITE new vocalist of the year. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

[@cherylpowell6483]

I love you Gregory Porter. My soul stirs when I listen to you sing. It's kind of like sliced bread, the best. I listen to this particular concert over and over because my daily bread is eaten right along side with this heavenly annointed man. This orchestra has one of the best brass sections that can keep company with the late James Brown's band. The trombone solos were off the charts.😁😁 Thanks for sharing your gifts with us.

[@dagostinoification]

Merci beaucoup pour cette merveille de feeling !

[@walterfuentes249]

A Master with Great musicians,Just Amazing!!!!

[@yvetterabon]

1960 What Trumpet Soloist was going off!!! I absolutely love Porter and the Metropole Orchestra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the upload

[@hawkrider88]

Now THAT is a band/orchestra...or whatever you want to call it. Swings and the arrangements are incredible!

[@tonydialsr7190]

To hear and view this tonight is a blessing for me, my first time checking this Brother out GREAT, and with the Metropole Orchestra just perfect. Thank you for this post.

[@catanlorca]

Gorgeous concert with an awesome Gregory Porter and btw a fantastic Metropole Orkest … in my opinion one of the best orchestras in the world…. if not the best !

[@kenelliott7917]

This is by far the best live concert I have ever seen and heard. I was just recently turned on to Gregory Porter. What a voice! The accompanying orchestra is incredible. You're missing one of God's blessings by not watching this video.

[@tommy33177]

By the time he got to the song "1960 What" I had chills running down my spine. Wow this entire concert was flawless. No doubt Gregory Porter is one of the Jazz greats and by the just the perfection of this performance he sure enough earned it.

[@clowblessed]

Thomas Patterson HE is a beast of a writer and singer....

[@DBee56]

+Thomas Patterson The recording is very solid, as well ... didn't expect that for a live recording on You-Tube.

[@briejoana109]

+Thomas Patterson I call Gregory the Voice of the Millennium!!! chills all over..23:00 ff

[@dozerla2705]

+Carl Lowery Yes! When you hear so many of Porter's songs, you think they are classics he's covered - then you realize most of his songs are NEW CLASSICS he's written himself and sung - all the more amazing! Peerless talent.

[@lorenzobaines6222]

+Dozer LA Exactly. All his songs aren't standards but instead are originals written by HIM! This guy is the new gold standard in music, as far as I'm concerned.

[@anthonyvaughan6470]

GREAT CONCERT / SHEER BRILLIANCE ! Shalom !

[@ckdesert]

Last week was the first time I had ever heard of this man. They played a duet called "insanity" on the radio and I was IMMEDIATELY transfixed! I've been listening to him all day!

[@MsNini-sw2jn]

The absolute best concert performance!! Excellent Gregory & The Met Orchestra!!

[@mariasiedsma4398]

I've heard these arrangements with other orchestras he's played with and this is by far the most soulful, and best orchestra ever. It's hard to made Gregory Porter look bad, but this orchestra manages to elevate his performance. I'm already a Gregory Porter Fan and now a Metropole Orchestra fan. now.

[@kipsstyle]

WOW! Do you mean to tell me as much as I love music that I am JUST NOW hearing this gift. I am getting the CDs, turn up my Bose and just enjoy. Amazing!!!!

[@JAYSMITH0124]

Awesome!!

[@charlesbrown8696]

This man and all of the music behind him is a refreshment to today’s music and is a super super replacement

[@hawkrider88]

"Be Good" just slays me. There is a spiritual, mystical, etherial quality about it that touches my soul. Whew!

[@lindahunt3192]

The Chain Gang song is moving!! That trombone, the horn section is terrific. The whole orchestrater is good!! Sing Gregory Porter!!

[@rolandborch4873]

a great singer and an outstanding orchestra !!!

[@allanjsqueaky1978]

Music is my therapy...Gregory Porter is a SPECIALIST...FOOD FOR THE SOUL...SIMPLY AMAZING..!!!

[@dozerla2705]

I've been a big fan of Gregory Porter ever since his debut "Water" several years back, and so happy this concert was uploaded: it's simply fantastic, amazing, astonishing - his vocals, the tone, the phrasing, the warmth, the color, the sheer joy of performance - WOW!

[@larrytasker7043]

Gregory - Bravo. You are a legend. Your delivery is so great, no gimmicks just pure talent and a voice from heaven. Orchest. Metropole -what a magnificent orchestra. The trumpet, sax and trombone solos blew me away and the guitarist -wow!!!!!. This orchestra specialise in popular music. Another one to see is Trijntje Oosterhuis with the orchestra doing a programme of Burt Bacharrach songs. Equally wonderful by a woman who sings Bacharrach better than anyone ever did or will ever do.....

[@meetaah]

When the singer and the orchestra are making luv❤...... I'm falling from BENIN-AFRICA❤🇧🇯-

[@COMICBOOKSandBEYOND]

I have seen Gregory two times, once at the Hollywood Bowl and his voice is a gift from God. His songs are so uplifting and he is the future of jazz and hopefully young people will be inspired by him. Thanks Gregory!!

[@dr.vielgut]

how right you are.....💯💯👍

[@diido-swagins687]

I’m 24 years old listen to him for years! But I’m jazzy from my parents

He's a game changer love listening to his music day or night always good

[@jmusic45]

This guy sounds so good with this orchestra. The Harlem song just makes you want to dance. I've worn this video out listening to it at work.

[@Renegadepr]

So good, exquisite. The Metropole orchestra is fantastic! A voice like Gregory Porter's comes along once in a generation.

[@russellconaway5040]

This upright Bass player did a tremendous job 👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯

[@wolffbites]

what God listens to when there is 49 minutes of free time. I am 78 and used to spend my nights at the Vanguard, Gate and Bliue Note. Even booked the MJQ for a huge event once. This man is the perfect blend of what you want in a Jazz performer and gotta feeling in a human being too. fabulous tone and phrasing and warmth and love he emanantes. Sting chose him to sing song he wrote for the Polar Contest in 2017--- watch it Its Probably Me is damn good but first song at this event is one of 10 best songs i have ever heard. And huge kudos to the orchestra--- 49 minutes of magic.

[@tneal3526]

Magnificent, Gregory and the orchestra.

[@olivernqubelani6659]

What a brilliant performance by Gregory and the orchestra. Gregory never disappoints.

[@abovebeyondandforever6571]

I was very impressed with this performance.

[@haleygamere1239]

Fantastic! I think Gregory enjoys great sound of orchestra as well!
