FrankT Presenta showcases a mix of jazz classics by distinguished artists of the past including The Commodores, Marvin Gaye, The Jacksons, and more. The two CD set includes over thirty-five songs, all of which encompass a mellow, self-expressive beat. The songs keep the listener interested with slight variations between slow and moderate paces, and between lyrical and instrumental tunes. Songs like Theme From Shaft (Isaac Hayes) and Machine Gun (The Commodores) offer a passive break from the overwhelming rap that usually blares from club speakers nowadays.

The recognizable hits such as Le Freak (Chic) and We are Family (Sister Sledge) are surrounded by less renowned, but similarly enjoyable beats. Songs like Blame it on the Boogie (The Jacksons) inspire not only head-bobbing, but shoulder-rocking and an overall comfortable mindset. The various beats and lyrics appeal to crowds of all ages, and can be enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere at home, via Ipod on the metro, or in a social setting at a café. Overall, the combination of artists in FrankT Presenta creates a perfect blend of downbeat jazz and passive lyrics to leave an audience of any age in a tranquil mindset.
