Collectors Item - Music, Art and Life: Gregory Porter
Legendary Pianist Harold Mabern Releases "Afro Blue" ft. Gregory Porter, Norah Jones, Kurt Elling, Jane Monheit, Alexis Cole


"Though elder statesman Harold Mabern’s blocky, aggressive piano style may seem better suited to the small army of horn players he’s worked with—from Miles, Ornette and Freddie Hubbard to George Coleman and Eric Alexander—it’s worth remembering that Mabern’s early career also placed him with Betty Carter, Johnny Hartman, Sarah Vaughan and Joe Williams. At age 78 he remains a sterling vocal accompanist, as demonstrated across this album featuring five of the finest singers around: Kurt Elling, Gregory Porter, Jane Monheit, Norah Jones and Alexis Cole." - JazzTimes
