Also producing a handful of tracks is\u003cstrong\u003e Kamau Kenyatta, \u003c\/strong\u003ewho has worked on all of \u003cstrong\u003ePorter's \u003c\/strong\u003eprevious albums. Returning is Porter's longtime quartet featuring pianist \u003cstrong\u003eChip Crawford\u003c\/strong\u003e, bassist \u003cstrong\u003eJahmal Nichols\u003c\/strong\u003e, drummer \u003cstrong\u003eEmanuel Harrold,\u003c\/strong\u003e and saxophonist \u003cstrong\u003eTivon Pennicott. \u003c\/strong\u003eThey are augmented at various times by a horn section, a vocal choir, and on several tracks, the \u003cstrong\u003eLondon Symphony Orchestra Strings.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThankfully, \u003cstrong\u003eMiller and Kenyatta\u003c\/strong\u003e know exactly where and how to frame Porter, never getting in his way but adding just the right amount of organic textures and old-school grooves to the singer's already evocative songs. There's a vintage quality to much of \u003cstrong\u003eAll Rise!\u003c\/strong\u003e as Porter dips into his long-standing love '70s soul. \"\u003cstrong\u003eFaith in Love\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is a \u003cstrong\u003eMarvin Gaye\u003c\/strong\u003e-style ballad, punctuated by rich gospel backing vocals and angular orchestral accents. Similarly, the shimmering \"\u003cstrong\u003eMerchants of Paradise\"\u003c\/strong\u003e finds Porter backed by spacey, cinematic strings and jazzy soprano sax solo from \u003cstrong\u003ePennicott, \u003c\/strong\u003eall of which brings to mind an impossibly accomplished combination of \u003cstrong\u003eTerry Callier and Scott Walker. \u003c\/strong\u003eUltimately, there's nothing deceiving and everything to celebrate about\u003cstrong\u003e Porter's All Rise! \u003c\/strong\u003e(AMG)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e        Tracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e        Concorde    3:55\u003cbr\u003e        Dad Gone Thing    5:02\u003cbr\u003e        Revival Song    3:33\u003cbr\u003e        If Love Is Overrated    5:54\u003cbr\u003e        Faith In Love    4:56\u003cbr\u003e        Merchants Of Paradise    6:00\u003cbr\u003e        Long List Of Troubles    4:15\u003cbr\u003e        Mister Holland    3:24\u003cbr\u003e        Modern Day Apprentice    2:54\u003cbr\u003e        Everything You Touch Is Gold    6:00\u003cbr\u003e        Phoenix    4:45\u003cbr\u003e        Merry Go Round    5:26\u003cbr\u003e        Real Truth    6:33\u003cbr\u003e        You Can Join My Band    5:51\u003cbr\u003e        Thank You    5:20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dzmoMdKzPgQ?si=JSVhcgN5YIQW7M7s\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gregory Porter","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":47034249707764,"sku":"0","price":24.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0450\/3165\/3527\/files\/Gregory_Porter_All_Rise_CD.jpg?v=1760569127","url":"https:\/\/www.flyingnun.co.nz\/products\/gregory-porter-all-rise","provider":"Flying Nun ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
