Frankie V is a large, round and smooth man with a large, round and smooth sound. Clad in a warm-up jacket and black cords, this soft-spoken flugelhornist and trumpeter could have been mistaken for your typical garage-collection suburbanite jazz aficionado—that is, until he put mouth to valve and sang out the mournful melody of Wayne Shorter’s “Footsteps.” From then on, the lyrical and deep sound of his horn reinvented the familiar tune, revealing and reveling in an inner sadness too often missed by breezy tenor...
