Monday, 2/9/2026, 10pm - Jazz Night In America with Christian McBride

Gregory Porter in Conversation.

Gregory Porter’s voice broke onto the scene over a decade ago. Flowing out of the gospel church, it’s a voice of dignity, in the mode of his hero, Nat King Cole. A voice of reassurance, whether aiming for the heavens or a single soul. It’s also the voice Porter’s own experience, going back to his childhood in California. He opens up about that journey in conversation with our host, Christian McBride. We’ll hear about his transition from sports to theater to music, and about the meaning behind some of his soul-baring songs.
