AUDIOPHILE SOCIETY CLASSIC RIBBON SERIES

A Classic Jazz Experience with Modern Sonic Purity

The West Side Quartet proudly presents Dry Martini Jazz, the latest addition to the Audiophile Society's Classic Ribbon Series, a collection dedicated to capturing the warmth and depth of classic jazz with state-of-the-art fidelity. Recorded using ribbon microphones and cutting-edge tube preamps at 192kHz/24-bit resolution, Dry Martini Jazz delivers the legendary tonal richness of jazz’s golden era—now with unparalleled clarity and 3D spatial realism thanks to Mega-Dimensional Sound. Listeners will experience an immersive, lifelike soundstage, where every note and nuance comes alive with breathtaking authenticity.

Featuring some of New York’s most exciting rising jazz talents, The West Side Quartet pays homage to the cool jazz masters—from Stan Getz to Paul Desmond—with a sophisticated and elegant setlist. Led by saxophonist Lenny J. Feather, alongside Chris Ramirez on bass, Danno Peterson on drums, and Michael Hilgendorf on guitar, this ensemble brings fresh energy to beloved jazz classics while honoring their timeless essence.

The album showcases a refined selection of jazz standards and cool jazz gems, featuring the smooth Brazilian rhythms of Antonio Carlos Jobim with “Agua de Beber” and “O Grande Amor,” the swing of "Sweet Georgia Brown", the intimate lyricism of "The Look of Love", and the wistful beauty of "Moonlight in Vermont". Listeners will also be treated to the atmospheric elegance of "Desmond Blue", the haunting melody of the traditional "Greensleeves", and the dynamic brilliance of "Solar" by Miles Davis and Chuck Wayne.

Produced and mixed in 3D sound by David Chesky, Dry Martini Jazz is a must-hear for jazz purists and audiophiles alike. Blending timeless compositions with modern production techniques, the album creates a listening experience that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

With its rich tonal purity and enhanced spatial depth, Dry Martini Jazz is a time machine; welcoming listeners back to the golden age of jazz, giving you a front row seat to witness the jazz icons of tomorrow trading fours.
