- With an epic bass solo intro by Jahmal Nichols, Gregory Porter does a cover of The Temptations' song "Papa Was A Rolling Stone," followed by his song "Musical Genocide (I Do Not Agree)" and then a rapid medley of classics from the likes of Marvin Gaye, The Isley Brothers, The O'Jays, and Sam Cooke. Nichols mixes some treats into his opening solo too, including some Stevie Wonder ("Master Blaster") at 2:42 and Deep Purple ("Smoke On The Water") at 3:16.
"Papa Was A Rolling Stone" was released by the Motown act The Undisputed Truth in 1972, then made famous in a version released by The Temptations later that year. "Musical Genocide" was released on Gregory Porter's Liquid Spirit album in 2013.
Gregory Porter is a two-time Grammy Award winner for Best Jazz Vocal Album, first in 2014 for Liquid Spirit, and then in 2017 for Take Me To The Alley. Joining him onstage were Tivon Pennicott (saxophone), Jahmal Nichols (bass), Chip Crawford (piano), Ondřej Pivec (Hammond organ), and Emanuel Harrold (drums). Recorded live in concert before a sold-out crowd at SFJazz in San Francisco, California on August 2, 2019.

Gregory Porter official bio:
A two-time Grammy-winner and six-time nominee, Gregory Porter has undoubtedly become jazz’s most celebrated male vocalist, “a jazz singer of thrilling presence, a booming baritone with a gift for earthy refinement and soaring uplift” (The New York Times). After the success of his 2010 debut Water and follow-up Be Good, Porter broke through to mainstream stardom with his Blue Note debut Liquid Spirit, winning the 2013 Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album. He repeated the Grammy and chart success of Liquid Spirit with 2016’s Take Me to the Alley, and his 2017 tribute to Nat “King” Cole, Nat “King” Cole & Me, is poised to earn Porter his third Grammy nod.
Raised in the hardscrabble city of Bakersfield, the budding vocalist grew up with seven siblings who all sang and worked in their mother’s skid row mission. A chance encounter led to Porter’s recording debut on Hubert Laws Remembers the Unforgettable Nat King Cole, a 1998 album that earned him an audition for the Broadway-bound musical It Ain’t Nothin’ But the Blues. Growing up around rollicking tent revivals offered ideal training for a revue tracing the history of the blues, and he got the gig. Porter brings the same soul-stirring authority to jazz settings, revealing powerful truths with heart and grace.

Jahmal Nichols official bio
Jahmal Nichols, bassist, composer, arranger and producer was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. Jahmal is from a rare breed of bassists/musicians that is able to fluently go from electric bass to acoustic bass on any genre of music. His goal ultimately is to bring the world a new sound and voice on the bass and provide great musicianship to any artist that he works for as a sideman.
He comes from a very musical family and was introduced to the bass at the age of 13 after years of watching his father play bass at church and for numerous of local artists on the R&B scene. Jahmal started his own musical journey at Central Visual & Performing Arts High School and North Carolina Central University, where he majored in music. It was there at Central Visual & Performing Arts he was introduced to the upright bass and later to the electric bass. From this point on Jahmal intensely worked on perfecting his craft. With 20 years of experience Jahmal has shared the stage with artists from all over the world including Gregory Porter, Fontella Bass, Jon Faddis, Sean Jones, Terrell Stafford, Houston Person, Eric Roberson, Matt Wilson, Anat Cohen, Frank Foster, Julie Dexter, Anthony David, and many many more.... - Hudba
