Grammy Nominee 2013 Gregory Porter formed a stunning collaboration with “All about Jazz” star Mansur Scott and the legendary “Soul of Harlem” Donald Smith when the three recorded their once-in-a-lifetime new album "The Great Voices of Harlem". Now Mansur Scott – who just recently refused a major label-offer to remain independent and heart fully treated by PAO Records – will form a very special new line-up for the album-release-tour in Europe March – April 2014: for the first time introducing stunning new vocalist Mavis 'Swan' Poole. If you recall the first steps of once again Grammy-nominated Gregory Porter some five years ago, Mavis the ‘Swan’ is praised to be right onto her way building her stardom as most talented and brilliant new female Harlem Jazz vocalist of her generation. So this special tour-line-up shall become an evening to be remembered - be there and become ear-witness! Mansur and Mavis will be supported by the voluminous Blue Brass Band of the famous trombonist Paul Zauner. Their music, deeply black, adopts the styles of the 60’s and 70’s musical legends and revives some of the most well known Jazz-songs in the spirit of Ray Charles, Lester Bowie, Dollar Brand and the more. Ear catching danceable grooves alternate with gentle tunes and converge to a passionately played Jazz- and Soulmixture. Songs like "Somewhere over the Rainbow", "Moanin’", "Mona Lisa", "Work Song", "Stella by Starlight", "Days of Wine and Roses", "Peace" and the many more will boost audience appraisal with this special release-clubtour.
