Birdland Theater presents the return of pianist and singer Eric Comstock and vocalist Barbara Fasano for four Tuesdays—February 6, 13, 20 and 27 at 5:30 PM in their new show, The Songbook: From Sinatra to Sondheim to Sting. Joining them will be bassist Sean Smith
Drawing from eclectic influences, Sinatra and Cole Porter classics to singer-songwriters like Joni Mitchell and Carole King, the married musical couple’s combination of warmth, wit and swing have taken them from Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center to Saratoga Jazz Festival, Music Mountain Twilight Jazz, London’s Pizza Express, Italy’s Monteverdi Tuscany, and nightclubs and music festivals across the country. Their new CD, Painting the Town, featuring tenor saxophone legend Houston Person, drops this spring.
As they did in their Saturday Residency at Birdland, Comstock and Fasano will change their set weekly. Also, they plan to salute several musical heroes who were born 100 years ago: Henry Mancini, J.J. Johnson, Julie Wilson, Bobby Short, Sheldon Harnick, and others.
There is a $30 music charge and a $20 food and beverage minimum.For reservations, visit birdlandjazz.com
Birdland is located at 315 West 44th Street (between 8th and 9th Avenues) in Manhattan.
