After two solid albums for Motema Music (which both earned Grammy nominations), Gregory Porter made his Blue Note debut with Liquid Spirit in 2013. The strength of Liquid Spirit lies in Porter's songs, based upon personal experiences with a relatable and emotional immediacy. Even more, his hooky melodies penetrate instantly.?10th Anniversary Edition 3 LP set includes the original album on 2 LPs, and a bonus LP of extra tracks and remixes, with 5 tracks on vinyl for the first time.

Gregory Porter's debut studio album, Water - originally released in 2010 under the Motema Music label - is now reissued on Blue Note Records. The tracks include love stories such as "Illusion and Pretty," and protests for African-American civil rights like "1960 What?" which recounts the 1967 Detroit riots. Water was hailed by fans and critics alike, elevating Porter to the status of the next great jazz star and marking the beginning of his successful career.
