release description

Gregory Porter, whose 2010 Motema Music debut, Water, was nominated in the 2011 53rd Annual Grammy Awards as Best Jazz Vocal Album, drops a powerful cinematic treatment of one of the CD's most popular tracks, "1960 What?." This digital DJ promo features an international array of producers who have contributed to three remixes of the song. Swedish production wizard Opolopo's soulful House remix, a "kick and bass rerub," is already burning up dance floors from Chicago to the UK, where it's currently getting airplay on Jazz FM. Peter McEvilley, the LA-based producer and electronic music artist who works as Peas, has contributed a House mix, and the founder of Amsterdam's Wicked Jazz Sounds music collective, Phil Horneman, has contributed a Wicked Jazz Sounds radio edit, which clocks in at about half as long as the anthemic twelve-and-a-half minute long original version. The official videos for "Illusion" and "1960 What?" have a combined total of 40,000 YouTube views and will be aired on VH1.
