Gregory Porter brings his velvety baritone voice to Mannheim
On Monday, November 2, 2026, the Mozartsaal in the Rosengarten will be the venue for a special jazz evening: Gregory Porter is performing as part of the Enjoy Jazz Festival in Mannheim. The two-time Grammy award winner combines jazz tradition, gospel, and soul with a warm, distinctive voice and great emotional closeness.
Jazz, Soul, and Personal Stories
When Gregory Porter sings, bluesy depth and elegant melody meet lyrics about love, reconciliation, and societal issues. His stage performance thrives not on spectacular effort, but on presence, nuances, and a voice that fills even quiet passages with great impact. Deutschlandfunk Kultur aptly described him as the figurehead of contemporary jazz.
Quintet with Piano, Fender Rhodes, and Organ
In Mannheim, Porter will perform with his quintet. Piano, Fender Rhodes, drums, saxophone, bass, and organ create the sonic space for a finely tuned orchestration. The program will feature well-known pieces from his multiple award-winning albums, including Hey Laura, Be Good (Lion’s Song), and Take Me to the Alley.
From Club Singing to Grammy Success
Gregory Porter grew up in Bakersfield, California, influenced by Southern gospel and his mother’s record collection of Nat King Cole. His career gained momentum with the albums Water and Be Good. Liquid Spirit became an international success in 2013, earning him his first Grammy. He received another Grammy for Take Me to the Alley as Best Vocal Jazz Album.
An Evening in the Name of the Enjoy Jazz Festival
The concert evening begins at 8:00 PM, with entry starting at 7:00 PM. A concert introduction is scheduled for 7:30 PM. The event will take place in a seated atmosphere and is presented by the PHOENIX group. The Rosengarten provides the ideal setting for a concentrated concert experience, where voice, band, and acoustic space take center stage.
Gregory Porter stands for a live atmosphere where every detail counts: the bouncy drums, warm organ tones, precise brass arrangements, and his sonorous baritone. Anyone wishing to experience modern jazz with a soulful feel and great musical expressiveness should not miss this evening at Mannheim’s Rosengarten.
