ERIC COMSTOCK (piano/voice) and BARBARA FASANO (voice)
bring their singular, soulful showmanship home to Birdland with
"Summer Standard Time." Hailed as “smart, funny, and utterly delightful”
and "a hotbed of pleasure" by The New York Times, Eric and Barbara 
have been on a roll, releasing their new CD PAINTING THE TOWN
(MAC Award, Major Recording of the Year --
"Great tunes, impeccable musicality and vocal prowess." ~ NYC Jazz Record)
and touring the country. They return to Birdland for one set only, with their
eclectic mix of jazz and pop classics. Eric and Barbara
dive deep into the repertoire and always include surprising gems.
As they put it, "You'll go home humming a song you
didn't know you loved."



"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
