Sophisticated Lady Jazz Quartet

Posted by chocolate_lover9999@yahoo.com (A) on May 5, 2015 at 17:23:07

This is a stunning recording that I just heard - an "audiophile" recording if there ever was in the likes of Chesky, Sheffield Labs, ECM, etc. Produced by Yarlung Records. The jazz track selections are superb.
Jeff Wilson of The Absolute Sound says: "More jazz records should be like Sophisticated Lady Quartet—relaxed yet focused, tradition-based yet modern, elegant yet conveying a sure sense of swing. The recording is so pure that you almost feel as if you're eavesdropping on four musicians who seem completely in their element while performing, in a one-take environment, a set that's evenly split between previously rehearsed arrangements and performances where they had one chance to turn a composition into a memorable piece of music. No splicing or editing here—just a live-in-the-studio recording where the mood, playing and sonics are so solid that jazz lovers will wish that the mostly-classical label Yarlung wandered over to this side of the street more often."
