Issues Of Life: Features And Remixes (2014)

A compilation of superstar Soul-Jazz vocalist Gregory Porter's best "features and remixes" with artists like David Murray, Zbonics and Brian Jackson (of Gil Scott-Heron fame), including four previously unreleased tracks. Some of the most impressive results of Gregory Porter's so called 'features' are presented on this CD. They range from a fantastic interpretation of Bobby Timmons' "Moanin'", recorded in 2012 with the Austrian trombonist Paul Zauner and his "Blue Brass", via contributions to the album by saxophonist David Murray's Infinity Quartet; a star-studded tribute to the music of Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson; on to the Zbonics, a Soul-Jazz collective led by drummer Zak Najor. Throw in the acclaimed Opolopo remix of Porter's biggest hit "1960 What?", plus a few never before released edits and remixes, and you have some prime examples of the incredible range and depth of Porter's gifts.
