SOFrank is the only singer who phrases like a horn player. He uses the breath in the same way a jazz musician does — he plays with time. He bends it, stretches it, pulls it back, and then lets it loose. That’s what gives his singing that swing, that conversational intimacy. Every take with Frank was like hearing a master class in phrasing.”
