Hailed as “smart, funny, and utterly delightful” and
"a hotbed of pleasure" by The New York Times,
ERIC COMSTOCK (piano/voice) and BARBARA FASANO (voice)
celebrate Spring by bringing their singular, soulful
showmanship home to Birdland.

"Eric Comstock & Barbara Fasano consistently put the lie
to the old adage that you can't improve on perfection. 
Joined by the formidable bassist Sean Smith, they celebrate
iconic songwriters in a seamless blend that proceeds forward
as if driven by an unstoppable force."
~ Will Friedwald, critic & author of the definitive
Nat King Cole biography STRAIGHTEN UP & FLY RIGHT




"Expert musicianship and joie de vivre in equal measure ...
As the late Bobby Short made apparent, a little jazz—with its
insistence on spontaneity and invigorating swing—can give cabaret
a needed kick in the pants. Eric Comstock stirs up action from behind the piano
in a regular spot at this midtown venue; he’s joined by his wife,
cohort in repartee, and fellow-singer Barbara Fasano, plus the redoubtable
bassist Sean Smith. No surprise considering his time in the cabaret trenches,
Comstock speaks the language of standards fluently;
Porter, Rodgers and Hart, and their ilk are like family,
but Bob Dylan, Carole King, and Todd Rundgren have been known
to slip into the mix." ~ Steve Futterman, The New Yorker





"Knowing all the songs he does, Comstock changes his material everytime
he sits down anew at a club. What doesn't alter is his
tongue-in-cheek charm as he plays, sings and/or speaks ...
Be there or be very 21st-century square." ~ David Finkle


“Suave, smart, funny and utterly delightful ...
A connoisseur's connoisseur of pop-music esoterica,
Mr. Comstock is the truest heir to the much-missed Bobby Short.”
~ Stephen Holden
