Multiple Grammy Award-winning American singer and songwriter Gregory Porter will bring his celebrated jazz voice to Tbilisi Concert Hall next week in a show featuring Georgian Philharmonic Orchestra led by conductor Nikoloz Rachveli.

Praised for “voice [that] defies gravity” and awarded his second Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album last year, Porter will perform songs from the recent recording in Georgia’s capital.

The release, titled Nat King Cole & Me, pays homage to the famed late vocalist and pianist Nathaniel Adams Coles.

The album, arranged by six Grammy Award-winning composer Vince Mendoza, includes songs by the legendary mid-20th century singer, performed by Porter.

It has been promoted as Porter’s “highest charting success yet” and replicated the success of his 2014 release Liquid Spirit with the 2017 Grammy Award.

Porter will be on stage in Tbilisi with his quintet and joined by the Evgeni Mikeladze Georgian Philharmonic Orchestra. Georgian conductor Nikoloz Rachveli will lead the latter in the show billed for January 12.

The American singer will come back to the Georgian capital for the first time since headlining the 2016 Tbilisi Jazz Festival alongside Nicholas Payton Trio, Jamie Cullum and Candy Dulfer.
