Morton comes home with a new album and memoir dropping soon amid a Saturday afternoon performance May 4, 2024, at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, which nears the end of an eight-day run.
“I'm amazed at the crowds and the rooms we get to play,” he said. “The joy started in small clubs where we were playing to 20 to 50 people. Now it's thousands. I love to see the growth. It's just special at every single level for me. In 2019, he took home a Best R&B Grammy for “Say So” and Best Traditional R&B Performance for “How Deep Is Your Love.” Since then, he's won three more Grammys for Best Gospel Album, Album of the Year and, this year, for Best Traditional R&B Performance for “Good Morning.”
In addition to the music, Morton said his memoir “Saturday Night, Sunday Morning,” is scheduled for release Nov. 12.
