The headgear they wear differs greatly, and the same goes for their music. Gregory Porter’s head is almost completely encased, while Roger Cicero sports a jaunty trilby hat. Gregory Porter tells tales of life in America in his warm baritone, while Cicero jokes about his peers, the urban thirty-somethings in Germany. The medium for their message, however, is the same. It’s jazz: relaxed, swinging, with beautiful melodies, clever improvisation and driving rhythm and that’s exactly how we love it.
