ThreePlay, on Playscape Recordings, features Dennis Irwin on bass and Matt Wilson on drums. This highly interactive yet swinging trio present a varied program of Rosenthal originals as well as his personal treatments (derangements) of "A Sleepin' Bee", "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off" and "Let's Cool One". The focus on Rosenthal's original compositions adds special interest to the CD. His lyrical moods show through on "Madeiran Nights" and "Forever Young" while influences of Monk and Tristano reveal themselves on the quirky "Eye On Monk" and the highly charged "Back Up". The rich variety of material performed with swinging abandon and sensitive lyricism gives ThreePlay an unusually wide scope.
