About this album

Burchfield Nines is one of Michael Franks’ signature albums, a polished 1978 set that balances jazz sophistication with easy pop warmth. Built around Franks’ soft, conversational vocals and wry songwriting, it helped define the smooth, urbane style that made him a cult favourite beyond the jazz world. The album moves between sly humour and romantic cool, with standout moments such as A Robinsong and Vivaldi’s Song showing his gift for turning clever detail into melody. Its blend of accessible hooks, refined musicianship and understated wit helped cement Franks as a distinctive voice in late-’70s vocal jazz.
