Scat Vocals, Jazz Fusion, and the Art of Precision — Inside Tightrope Swing (2025)

By Jenna Marlowe

Few artists can balance groove, elegance, and technical mastery the way Nate Franchesco does. His latest release, Tightrope Swing (Scat Version), features the exceptional vocals of Sage (Srbuhi Hovannisyan) — a powerhouse vocalist from The Voice Armenia Season 1,and represents another refined moment in his ever-expanding catalog.

What makes this track stand out isn’t just the jazz fusion vibe or the live-feel mix — it’s the attention to tone, pacing, and vocal intricacy. Sage’s performance, full of clean pitch and classic vibrato charm, blends seamlessly with Nate’s rhythmically sharp foundation.

“I wanted this version to feel polished but alive. There’s elegance here — not chaos,” Nate says.

Released via TuneCore and already tested on various sound systems (from studio setups to consumer Bluetooth gear), the track holds up sonically with a slight bass warmth — but never clips. That’s no accident. Nate’s always handled production with a musician’s ear and a technician’s discipline.

Whether you’ve followed his work from the Reflections series or just discovered him through West Coast Dollaz, this new single reinforces his versatility and instinct for collaboration.
