Diana Krall

UNIQUE

Diana Krall is an internationally acclaimed jazz singer, songwriter, and pianist, whose eight albums debuted at the top of the Billboard Jazz Charts. Her career includes two Grammy® Awards, ten Juno® Awards, and numerous gold and platinum certifications. Born in Canada, she began playing piano at an early age and developed her passion for jazz under the guidance of her father. After studying at the Berklee College of Music and working with jazz greats such as Ray Brown, she launched her career with albums like Stepping Out and Only Trust Your Heart.

She achieved international breakthrough in 1999 with When I Look in Your Eyes, which spent 52 weeks at number one on the jazz charts, won Grammy Awards, and went platinum. This was followed by successful releases including The Look of Love, Turn Up The Quiet, and her collaboration with Tony Bennett, Love Is Here to Stay. Her latest album, This Dream Of You, honors her 25-year collaboration with producer Tommy LiPuma.

Krall's unique artistry transcends any single musical style and has made her one of the most recognizable artists of our time.  As The New York Times recently noted Krall possesses, “A voice at once cool and sultry, wielded with a rhythmic sophistication.”

Gregory Porter

SOULFUL

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Gregory Porter was raised in Bakersfield, California and cites the Bakersfield Southern Gospel sound, as well as his mother’s Nat King Cole record collection, as fundamental influences on his own sound. Porter began singing in jazz clubs in San Diego while attending San Diego State University on a football scholarship. Eventually Porter moved to New York City to pursue music full-time and his career began to ascend with the release of his first two albums—Water (2010) and Be Good (2012)—both of which received GRAMMY nominations.

 In 2013, he released his breakout Blue Note debut Liquid Spiritwhich grew into a global phenomenon, selling more than a million albums and earning Porter his first GRAMMY Award with NPR declaring him “America’s Next Great Jazz Singer.” His 2016 follow-up Take Me To The Alley won Porter his second GRAMMY Award and firmly established him as his generation’s most soulful jazz artist. In 2017, Porter released the heartfelt tribute album Nat King Cole & Me, and in 2020 returned to his original songwriting on the uplifting ALL RISE, both of which received GRAMMY nominations. His 2021 release Still Rising collected new songs, covers, duets, and a selection of his most-loved hits. In 2023, Porter released his first-ever holiday album Christmas Wish. Porter has hosted the podcast The Hang, a conversation series featuring his famous friends, as well as his own cooking show The PorterHouse, in which the singer shared recipes inspired by his local community, experiences from touring the globe, and family cooking traditions.
