Dave Frishberg is one of the great wise guys of jazz, a witty lyricist and clever composer, and a killer pianist as well. Some of his best-known tunes include My Attorney Bernie, Blizzard of Lies, and Quality Time, many of which are available on his Concord Jazz release, Dave Frishberg Classics. Having spent much time living in L.A. and the Big Apple, Frishberg now makes his home in Portland, Oregon and is a popular entertainer on the West Coast and nationwide. He is seen here performing on a Jazz Cruise on Puget Sound co-sponsored by Starbucks and KPLU-FM, Tacoma-Seattle, in October 1996.
For more than five years, Frishberg was seen at his regular
Wednesday and Thursday evening gig accompanying singer Rebecca
Kilgore at the Heathman Hotel in Portland. The duo now performs on Thursdays
at Atwater's in Portland.
