"Recorded at Berlin's Philharmonic in 2016, Live in Berlin finds acclaimed jazz vocalist Gregory Porter performing in concert for an enthusiastic audience ... Ultimately, Live in Berlin is a welcome addition to Porter's growing discography and showcases his burnished vocal chops and dynamic, emotive style".

"The fan-friendly set list covers all four of Porter's albums, with greatest focus on his latest, Take Me to the Alley. Supporting Porter are three longstanding bandmates-pianist Chip Crawford, saxophonist Tivon Pennicott and drummer Emanuel Harrold-plus one newcomer, bassist Jahmal Nichols, all integral to an utterly captivating evening".

"Gregory Porter is a child of the '70s. Not simply in the literal sense (he was born in 1971), but also to the extent that the sound and sensibility he puts forth on Live In Berlin is firmly rooted in that decade's best and brightest. He pays tribute to Marvin Gaye and covers "Papa Was A Rolling Stone," but also manages to swing without ever relying on a walking bass line. Porter understands that you can embrace pop without giving up your jazz bona fides".
