Standards-grade songwriting, performed by a machine. The charts are Franklin McKay's — the band is in the machine.
Every Jazz in the Machiné recording begins with human songwriting. Franklin McKay writes and co-writes the music and lyrics. The performances are rendered by artificial intelligence — a late-night jazz experiment that keeps authorship firmly in human hands.
Smooth, smoky, and after-hours. Jazz in the Machiné takes the melodic craft of the flagship catalog and sets it in a jazz frame — the kind of recordings built for quiet rooms, slow dances, and 2 a.m. playlists.
Jazz in the Machiné is where the songs slip into something smoother. Melodies built for radio — reimagined through the lens of contemporary smooth jazz: a blend of Kenny G’s soaring, romantic saxophone warmth meets Bob James’ lush, late-night piano elegance.
Picture candlelit melodies gliding over velvet grooves, hooks that shimmer like moonlight on water, and arrangements that breathe with the easy sophistication of a 2 AM slow jam. Every track starts with a strong original song, then lets the machine dress it in silk — Rhodes pianos, brushed drums, and saxophone lines that sing.
For music supervisors and artists, it’s a working library of finished smooth jazz masters. For everyone else, it’s simply beautiful late-night listening.
The official Jazz in the Machiné artwork — the visual identity of the project, carried across the single sleeve, the page, and the stage. Every Machiné release wears these colours.
