Monsoon CD cover

Recorded in 2006, this CD features Rosen's bari sax and his group the Sweet Thunder Jazztet, with Paul Beunig on trumpet adn flugelhorn, Dave Davidson on keyboard, Fred Johnson on drums, and Scott Baekeland and Gregg Carpenter on bass.  All the tunes are originals in the cool jazz style.  Jazz Improv Magazine called it "a solid outing that would make Jeru proud.", and "Rosen all but channels Mulligan." (Of course Jeru is the nickname given to Gerry Mulligan by Miles Davis.) 

Other reviews have said: "This is a stellar group that has the right idea with superb arrangements and outstanding soloists." and "The music is new and contemporary yet reminiscent of the Mulligan sound."

Immediate, personal and close up jazz."
