Artist Jim Franco’s studio soundtrack has a dreamy quality to it, with the soulful vocals of jazz singers like Chet Baker, Sarah Vaughan, and Nat King Cole providing a distinct sense of calm. It’s an effect that’s not lost on Franco. “This playlist is a starting point for me early in the day,” he says. “It allows me to be engaged without being distracted, with the slower tempo serving as a perfect accompaniment for working with clay.”
