| “ | Anytime a beloved young artist dies tragically, record companies scramble for leftovers that fans can treasure as a keepsake of a life and career cut short. Porter' s followers will love this tribute because it features a handful of previously unreleased recordings of the saxman in the live arena, where the tight studio-controlled funk of his four recordings was let loose into an improvisational setting. Anyone acquainted with Porter only through the easygoing soprano tracks played on smooth jazz radio will realize from these tracks -- recorded at the 1996 North Sea Jazz Festival, not long before his drowning death in Thailand -- that while the horn master chose a career in pop, he was also an exceptional, inventive jazz performer. | ” |
