Liquid Spirit

Product Information

Since our conception Liquid Spirit Coffee Roasters has been committed to sourcing and supplying products that we know our clients will love. The Independent's Phil Johnson noted "The soulful vocalist follows his two excellent indie albums with a major-label debut that contains few surprises yet deepens the story so far". This is firmly in the mould of Water and Be Good and it sounds very much like those abums - with the same all acoustic, small Jazz group feel.

The Grammy award winning Jazz vocalist is probably one of the coolest people walking the planet with his incredible presence and god given voice.Blue Note have found a once in a generation voice which will hopefully be given the creative support to continue making such masterpieces. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. In this arrangement there’s a lead voice some of the time but you can easily adapt it for a group of singers if you prefer. Musicianship is excellent throughout, but I would like to have heard more improvisation and real Jazz - more of a live gig feel. Gregory reaches inside your mind with an honesty that is rare with so many over-produced albums these days.

We are happy to share our knowledge and passion with you, providing expertise and support for your new or evolving business.

From tempo tracks (Liquid Spirit) to quiet ballads (When Love Was King) the sound was deep and engaging. We also sell coffee-making equipment to help perfect your brew, and gift sets to treat a special someone.

Mike Hobart of Financial Times wrote "Gregory Porter ’s largely self-penned major label debut is an artful and free-spirited blend of love songs, social commentary and reflections on life. Each part gets a share of the gospel harmonies and your singers need to be on their toes with rhythm and timing.The material is again mostly original compositions, with a couple of Jazz standards and the old favourite : "The In Crowd" which has been covered by many people, but here receives a suitably Jazzy treatment. All songs written by Gregory Porter, and arranged by Porter, Chip Crawford and Kamau Kenyatta, except where noted.

He is now, appropriately enough on Blue Note - as this is clearly the sound that Gregory Porter loves - all those classic albums on that label, from the period when Jazz was the popular music of the day. The strength of Liquid Spirit lies in Porter's songs, based upon personal experiences with a relatable and emotional immediacy. I could go into details about the melancholy blues genius that is Water Under Bridges, the perfectly arranged cover of The In Crowd or the other 15 or so tracks (there are 19 presented) but all are just superb. A wide range of music styles can be found on this album - jazz, gospel, ballad, blues, soul - which help paint a pallet of images and textures for the listener. Do yourself a favour, if you're feeling stressed, pour yourself a drink of your choosing and put this album on.We offer a range of machines in multiple configurations, and we’ll work closely with you to find the perfect fit for your business.
