"Don’t Forget Your Music" .2016   Film  Documentary ( much of it. filmed in Black and white)  charting the  career of  the amazing Gregory Porter. Fantastic accounts and clips from his past in California, Detroit ,NY Russia and the UK . Features  contributions from Hubert and Eloise Laws . Solar DJ Chris Phillips , Jamie Callum , Joolz Holland , Van Morrison ,   Queen Claire Teal  , Gilles Peterson and Gregory’s debut UK appearance at a London Pizza Express. Can't recommend it enough . 

Repeats on Sky Arts 1:20am Weds 27th Feb .

 

Sorry 'fantastic accounts ' relates to his career and musical progression, the film also sees him recount painful memories of racism directed towards his family growing up in a very white area in Bakersfield. Yet his songs still deliver a message of peace and unity .. the Curtis of our time. Priceless. 

Thanks for the heads up, looks great .
