One Night in Vermont
Rosenthal and Brookmeyer began their playing association in the mid 90's through Gerry Mulligan, who added Brookmeyer to concerts with his quartet while Rosenthal was a member. After Mulligan's death, Rosenthal and Brookmeyer continued performing together with the Grammy-nominated Gerry Mulligan Tribute Band, which Rosenthal directed.Before collaborating as performers, Rosenthal studied with Brookmeyer in the BMI Jazz Composers Workshop.  In One Night in Vermont, both use compositional approaches in their improvisations. They explore a seemingly endless array of ideas, spinning out jazz lines, counterpoint, harmonic variations and creative interplay while maintaining the character of these timeless songs.
