Ted Rosenthal Trio: The Good Old Days
Rosenthal's style is ebullient, in the manner of Ahmad Jamal or Bill Charlap.Virtuosic and light-stepping, he and his bandmates make classic, classy music with deep roots in the jazz tradition.
Opening with Cole Porter's "From This Moment On," a breezy tone is set. Of the 10 tunes here, six are Rosenthal originals that fit well with the "good old days," Hoagy Carmichael's "Two Sleepy People," Vernon Duke's "Autumn In New York" and Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag." The non-originals come from before the bop era. Rosenthal gives these contemporary spins while respecting the spirits of the original renditions.
"Hot Sauce" features guest Art Tatum-esque right-hand vivacity.
