Barbara Fasano
Barbara Fasano, whose fourth CD “BUSY BEING FREE (MAC Award ~ Major Recording of the Year) was released to critical acclaim (My favorite new vocal album Will Friedwald, WSJ) has been hailed as one of the nation’s most stunning and soulful singers. Fasano recently headlined at the Saratoga Jazz Festival with her trio, and Music Mountain's Twilight Jazz series. She is a resident artist at the legendary Birdland Jazz Club, appearing most Saturdays with pianist/singer Eric Comstock and bassist Sean Smith, as well as multiple engagements in the new Birdland Theater.
Frank Scheck of The New York Post proclaims, Fasano is a gorgeous, soulful singer who has an actor’s intensity in whatever she sings. Radio host and critic Ron Forman puts Fasano in the top tier of today's jazz vocalists. Whether singing a song by Joni Mitchell or Harold Arlen or Cole Porter, Fasano takes her audience on a spellbinding, emotional musical journey. Her performances and recordings have won her three New York Bistro awards, seven MAC awards and a New York Nightlife award. Barbara and her frequent musical partner Eric Comstock are four-time winners of the Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs MAC Award for Major Duo Artists of the Year. “Mr. Comstock and Ms. Fasano are turning the neighborhood into a hotbed of pleasure,” raves The New York Times.

My favorite new vocal album is Barbara Fasano's BUSY BEING FREE. Barbara puts Joni Mitchell and Jimmy Webb on a level playing field with Jerome Kern and Irving Berlin and makes them all sound equally terrific. Typically outstanding musical direction by John di Martino (and playing from reed polymath Aaron Heick and that famous cornetist whinnying Warren Vache) completes the package

Credentials/Background
The art of song interpretation ... My life's work is about digging deep into myself to mine the experiences I've had and then bringing those experiences, those truths to a song. I love the process of discovery. And I love the joy of communicating through music. And I really love sharing what I've learned with other students and singers. In addition to directing, my work as a teacher in New York and around the country includes private coaching, workshops and master classes in the art of performance and song interpretation
