Pocket City is the debut album by the American musician Art Porter Jr., released in 1992.[1] [2] Porter Jr. supported the album by touring with Lisa Stansfield.[3] Pocket City made Billboards Contemporary Jazz Albums chart.[4]
The album was produced by Jeff Lorber.[5] Porter Jr. composed eight of its songs.[6] A video was shot for the title track.[7]
The Chicago Tribune deemed the album "a suave, cool delight from finish to end, full of breezy and uptempo tunes as well as dreamy, romantic-type ballads."[8] The Washington Post wrote: "After a couple half-hearted attempts at ballads, Porter comes up with the likable 'Passion Sunrise', but Porter and his backing band never really let loose, save on an upbeat cover of Maxi Priest's 1990 hit, 'Close to You'."[9]
