Recorded in the Brain & Creative Institutes Cammilleri Hall at USC
Sophisticated Lady jazz quartet from executive producers Ann and Bill Harmsen.
“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….” – Jeff Wilson, The Absolute Sound
Mike Popolino –
Sophisticated Lady Vol. 1 is superb throughout, from performance to the record pressing. Not surprisingly, everyone who I’ve had listen to it thus far all agree the recording sounds as if the musicians are playing in person in my audio room. My sincere praise! I am looking forward to future purchases.
Best wishes,
Mike
Bob Attiyeh –
Thank you so much Mike! Sophisticated Lady Jazz Quartet worked incredibly hard in preparation for this concert and recording and they were so honed and ready that it sounds like effortless playing. That’s what I think of as “mastery.” These guys are good! I’m glad you enjoyed the performances and the audio quality just as much. May you enjoy this LP for decades. More repertoire from Sophisticated Lady Quartet is here in multiple formats.
Our next jazz recording was the much-celebrated Yuko Mabuchi Trio, also on vinyl. The beautiful acoustics in the Brain and Creativity Institute’s Cammilleri Hall help us create the ambiance of a cozy jazz club. Glad you enjoy this particular club!
Thanks and sincerely,
Bob Attiyeh
