Amazing how Gregory Porter keeps on sounding better and better, year after year. He's got it

[MsMuhanji]

Ask me if I don’t love this? Listen to the lyrics if you dare to learn who were Porter’s influences !!! Then, too 3 woman playing in the band . Drummer., bass and sax . I’m in heaven !!!

[MsMuhanji]

Let me say this again great song! with that classic remembered line: ‘baptized by my daddy ‘s horn.’ So were we all .

[pbenzaquinnbs]

I just found this recording and listened to five times in a row. Porter's soulful voice surrounded by these amazing musicians gets to the core of what jazz is about! Feeling grateful...

[markkubiak]

What a great voice!! Love this band!! Wonderful tune!

This is what jazz needs. Ensembles🔥🔥🔥where we can see legends on stage. First time I saw Terri she was with Patrice Rushen, Holly Hoffman, and Nikki Parrott back in the early 90’s. The way Linda grooves on bass is epic.

Great song! Wished the drummer was as active as in the studio version. I never get tired of listening to this though!
