SUMMARY:Eric Comstock & Barbara Fasano Quartet - "So Nice To Come Home To"\, at Birdland
DESCRIPTION:Description\nERIC COMSTOCK and BARBARA FASANO QUARTET –\n“SO NICE TO COME HOME TO”\nwith Sean Smith\, bass\nVito Lesczak\, drums \nERIC COMSTOCK (piano/voice) and BARBARA FASANO (voice) bring their singular\, soulful showmanship home to Birdland with “SO NICE TO COME HOME TO.” 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 in 2025\, releasing an acclaimed CD\, PAINTING THE TOWN\, and touring the country. They draw from an ever-evolving American Songbook – Jazz and pop classics by Duke Ellington\, Harold Arlen\, and Cole Porter to singer-songwriters like Joni Mitchell\, Paul Simon\, Carole King\, and Bruce Springsteen\, plus surprising gems. November 29 is Billy Strayhorn’s 110th birthday and two weeks before Frank Sinatra’s 110th birthday. Their set will include salutes to both these brilliant artists\, as well as new tunes and a few favorites from PAINTING THE TOWN. The NYC Jazz Record’s Marilyn Lester praises Eric and Barbara’s “great tunes\, impeccable musicality\, and vocal prowess.” \nJoining Eric and Barbara will be their longtime collaborators Sean Smith (bass) and Vito Lesczak (drums)\, who also appear on PAINTING THE TOWN. \nThe married musical couple’s electrifying combination of warmth\, wit\, swing\, and sensuality have made them the nightclub world’s most celebrated team. Their performances 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 2025 CD\, PAINTING THE TOWN (Human Child Records)\, featuring tenor saxophone legend Houston Person\, was released earlier this year to ecstatic reviews: The Syncopated Times’ Brian R. Sheridan hailed it as “captivating … essential listening\, a milestone” and Will Friedwald of The New York Sun simply states\, “swinging and stunning.” \nEvery bit as entertaining as they are musically savvy\, The New Yorker praises Comstock’s “expert musicianship and joie de vivre in equal measure.” Fasano has been hailed by The New York Times as “a lyrically sensitive interpreter with a special affinity for Joni Mitchell” and by The New York Post as “a gorgeous\, soulful singer who has an actor’s intensity in whatever she sings.”  Her CDs BUSY BEING FREE and WRITTEN IN THE STARS both won the MAC Award for Major Recording of the Year. Winners of 9 MAC Awards\, 5 New York Bistro Awards and the New York Nightlife Award\, Eric and Barbara recently received the Donald F. Smith Award from the Mabel Mercer Foundation\, acknowledging their artistry. \nThe glamorous couple’s style is all their own\, with a wide choice of material that brings the generations together. Eric and Barbara make all of it fresh\, new\, spontaneous\, and fun – and their audiences feel they’ve been to a terrific party where the music and the stories have been equally great. In the words of revered jazz critic Ira Gitler\, they “have it all\, and then some … artistic\, swinging\, and superbly entertaining.”
