An accomplished (composer-arranger-producer-guitarist), Greg Porée has worked with a diverse group of musicians ranging from Ray Charles and Diana Ross to Sting and Phoebe Snow. Greg can be heard on landmark albums from artists such as Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Stanley Turrentine, Randy Crawford, Albert King, Ahmad Jamal, Benny Golson and Donald Byrd. As a musical director his credits include Sonny and Cher,The Supremes, Gladys Knight and the Pips and Joan Baez. Between solo albums Greg can be found composing, playing and arranging for film and television and producing groundbreaking solo albums for artists such as world music master Vinx and Gretchen Lieberum. With ‘Vertical Motion’ I took on the very ambitious task of recording my favourite Jazz tunes while I was recording my solo album ‘The Night Before’. Let me say right now, I’ll never do that again. Because emotionally it was very draining to work on two different projects at the same time. But I love all of the songs I chose and interpreted and feel that the performances are sincere. Greg Porée
