about
Pianist/composer Ted Rosenthal's Playscape debut features an all-star piano trio with bassist Dennis Irwin and drummer Matt Wilson. Threeplay marks the frequent collaborators' first recording as a trio and includes so-called "derangements" of pieces by Arlen, Gershwin, and Monk, amidst six Rosenthal originals.
 
 
Reviews
Rosenthal's forceful and yet playful moods lend an effortless beauty to the two standards 'A Sleeping Bee' and 'Let's Call the Whole Thing Off.' His mellower tunes ('Forever Young,' 'Madeiran Nights,' and 'Sisters') are especially strong.
