Dave Frishberg- in Cabaret

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

In this, the first of two recordings for Radio 3, jazz pianist, composer and singer Dave Frishberg entertains his audience to some of the most popular titles in his repertoire, including
Blizzard of Lies and Slappin' the Cakes on Me.
Frishberg's songs gleefully steer a course between pithy sarcasm, irony and nostalgia for Americana of earlier years. Although his songs have been recorded by some of the brightest names in jazz, the definitive interpretation is always
Frishberg's - as someone once remarked, if Woody Allen wrote songs, this is how they would sound. Producer Chris Neill
