James Porter - The James Porter Songbook (2011)

James Porter writes songs for song lovers to love and jazz improvisers to get a kick out of. The result is jazz neophytes finding themselves taken in by the CD as well as the shows when they had no idea they could ever find an interest in jazz.

The CD was recorded and released in Montreal at the end of a six-year episode of Porter’s life there. Now back in his home country, he is performing again regularly with a new “All Stars” band of brilliant local jazz musicians, songs from the CD as well as dozens of new tunes, in French as well as in English.
