The Michael Sinatra Quartet Albums

"With the White & Red Albums, we wanted to experience the familiar standards in a stripped-down and exposed way. We kept the arrangements based on original forms, but suited for the acoustic quartet instead of a big band arrangement. The quartet had a lot of freedom, in that regard, to explore the space and find new ways of giving the songs life. For example Sway, a favorite, we tried to develop a minimal yet hypnotic line that would propel the piece forward. These are all vocal jazz standards presented in modern quartet context that seems to be an under-estimated area that has lots of potential for creativity."
