2013 Yuletide Offerings
by Dan Bilawsky
It's clear that the holidays are coming when the mercury dips and the cheery tidings of the season are balanced out by shopping-fueled malaise.

Ted Rosenthal Trio: Wonderland
by Dan McClenaghan
Lots of “Christmas Albums" come out every year. Many of them are nice for an easy holiday listen, but let's face it, expectations are low in terms of endurance, and they can often be rightfully seen as quickly done, quick buck affairs.

Ted Rosenthal Trio: Out of This World
by Edward Blanco
Borrowing from The Great American Songbook is a standard practice for many jazz artists, who include one or more pieces when rounding out a repertoire of primarily new material.
