Ted Rosenthal at Maybeck: Maybeck Recital Hall Series Volume Thirty-Eight is an album of solo performances by jazz pianist Ted Rosenthal.

Music and recording

The album was recorded at the Maybeck Recital Hall in Berkeley, California^[1] in October 1994. The material consists of some standards, two Rosenthal originals, and some pieces associated with other pianists.

Release and reception

The AllMusic reviewer wrote: "His technique is immaculate and contrapuntal-minded, the selection of material offbeat, but we don't feel as if we are in the presence of a strong individual personality; one responds with the head and not the heart." The Penguin Guide to Jazz preferred Rosenthal's originals, and suggested that he tended to show off.
