Sophisticated Lady Quartet - Sophisticated Lady Quartet

2014 CD release.

This time it's their first jazz entry that has golden warmth of a Blue Note from it's heyday as well as visceral instruments presence of a Contemporary Records. Recorded in Cammilleri concert hall using only a vintage tube stereo microphone, the sound of the CD is creamy like butter while the texture is so rich that you can easily discern which parts of the drum set the player hits and rubs. The big crescendo on 'For Andrew' is mind blowing!
