Other Arrangements marks a shift in direction for Millsap — one where he indulges his pop sensibilities.
“For me, this record is about trying to write pop songs,” Millsap said. “When I say ‘pop,’ I mean how a Beatles record was pop music: the songs provide a variety of musical and emotional information; there are funny, sad, and happy moments; multiple tempos; ballads; rock and roll songs … Like I usually tell strangers who ask, I play rock and roll music but I have a fiddle player, too.”
Millsap said he’s more confident about releasing this album than he’s been with any other. And for the 24 year-old, this confidence comes with the recognition that he can explore new territory and still portray something honest.
“This record is where I learned that I’m allowed to change, and that people expect it and it’s good. I wanted this one to be different from the last; I realized while making it that I didn’t have to do the sad, folky thing with Jesus lyrics and acoustic guitar, but that I could write artsy pop songs like Van Morrison. I wanted to prove to myself that I could write something universal. Songs are primal — even in jazz there’s a base, a guideline. I just want to hear somebody be honest with me. Whether in a saxophone solo or a groove or a great phrase, it’s worth looking for the honesty in everything.”
