All Rise (Gregory Porter album)

All Rise is the sixth studio album by American jazz and soul singer Gregory Porter, released on August 28, 2020, by Blue Note Records. The album represents a return to Porter's more gospel, blues, and soul-infused sound after exploring a more orchestral direction on his previous album, Nat King Cole & Me.

The album's title, All Rise, refers to a sense of collective uplifting and renewal, themes reflected in the album's lyrics, which often address themes of social justice, resilience, and the importance of community. Porter has stated that the album is intended to be a message of hope and encouragement in the face of adversity.

All Rise features contributions from Porter's long-time collaborators, including drummer Emanuel Harrold, bassist Jahmal Nichols, organist Ondrej Pivec, and saxophonist Tivon Pennicott. The album also includes orchestrations arranged by Troy Miller.

The album was met with generally positive reviews, with critics praising Porter's vocal performance and the album's optimistic and uplifting message. It was nominated for Best R&B Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.
