O’s Notes: Ted leads a trio with Quincy Davis (d) and Noriko Ueda (b). They open with the upbeat title track featuring a strong bass line by Ueda. Rosenthal’s work on piano is bubbly and definitive as he makes complex passages seem effortless. They play ten fresh arrangements of classics from the American songbooks that impart a strong dose of energy to the listener. We enjoyed it!
