May 11th, Jazz/soul vocalist Gregory Porter who’s hailed by Wynton Marsalis as “a fantastic young singer ” debuts his album “Water.” For the recording, Porter tapped a powerful cadre of strong players, among them the iconic alto sax player James Spaulding (Max Roach, Freddie Hubbard, and Bobby Hutcherson, et al) who plays a featured role on two tracks: “Wisdom” and “Black Nile.” The CD was produced by saxophonist, pianist and composer Kamau Kenyatta, who Porter refers to as his “best friend.” If the album sounds anything close to Pretty, then we’re in for a treat
