Ted Rosenthal

Ted Rosenthal is a versatile jazz pianist and composer known for his inventive approach that bridges jazz and classical traditions. With a career spanning decades, he’s celebrated for lyrical improvisations and fresh takes on standards, whether reimagining Gershwin’s classics on *Jazzy Classics: Gershwin & Rosenthal* or diving into the worlds of jazz icons like Bud Powell and Bill Evans on *Ted Rosenthal Plays The Music Of Bud Powell, Bill Evans & Beethoven*. His 1988 win at the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition catapulted him into the spotlight, and he’s since collaborated with legends like Gerry Mulligan, honored on *Gerry Mulligan Songbook*, and showcased solo brilliance on intimate recordings like *The Maybeck Recital Series, Vol. 38*.

Beyond performing, Rosenthal is a dedicated educator, sharing his expertise at institutions like Juilliard, and his playful curiosity shines through projects like *Threeplay* and *Impromptu*. Whether swinging through radio-friendly takes on *My Funny Valentine* or exploring genre-blurring territory, his work stays rooted in technical mastery and emotional warmth, making him a dynamic force in modern jazz.
