Gregory Porter - Movin' Track Review

I was intrigued to listen to Gregory Porter when I heard the advert for his album on Spotify as his deep talking voice already had me convinced that his singing would be rich and smooth. I wasn't disappointed, Porter's voice has that soul behind it that really reminds me of Marvin Gaye, but the little riffs and licks also make it similar to Stevie Wonder.

This track Movin' has everything you could want or expect from a jazz song. The funky horn section, jazzy piano chord progressions and a classic saxaphone solo which sends shivers down your spine. But with the soul influence, it doesn't have the repetitive sound that can sometimes come with jazz music. It also serves a good purpose as background music in the evening or just generally in a situation where mellowness is needed.
