Eric Comstock and Barbara Fasano, with host Laurence Maslon, bring A Swell-egant, Elegant Party to East Hampton’s LTV Studios, Saturday, August 1, at 7:30 p.m., as part of the 2026 season of Hamptons Summer Songbook By the Sea.

Comstock, Fasano, and Maslon propose a toast to some of the most intoxicating songs from the Broadway stage! Vintage hits by songwriters such as Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, Noël Coward, Jerry Herman, Stephen Sondheim and more, will be performed by the acclaimed married musical duo Comstock and Fasano ("smart, funny, and utterly delightful" -- The New York Times), and tales will be told by local radio producer and writer Laurence Maslon, whose book I’ll Drink to That! Broadway Cocktails (“Fizzy and funny and fine”—NPR) will be available on-site. With a cocktail party atmosphere, these sophisticated folks will render a magnum of melodious music and stir up a tale or two about Broadway’s Golden Age—with a Hollywood twist or two. This is one party you won’t want to miss!

Comstock and Fasano note, “We’re very excited to return to the Hamptons and share our passion for the best of the American Songbook. Our work as award-winning concert and recording artists is recognized for its far-ranging repertoire and the fresh, modern spin we bring to even the most familiar standards. It’s especially fun to team up with Laurence Maslon, who knows all that’s worth knowing about Broadway musicals—and he mixes a formidable cocktail, too! With us, audiences feel they’re at a marvelous party where the music and stories are equally terrific, and there’s no doubt this evening will be a swingin’ summer soiree to remember!”

Maslon says, “I’ve brought the best show tunes from Broadway and beyond to local Hamptons audiences every Sunday on the radio for over fifteen years. Now it’s my enormous thrill to invite two of my favorite guests--Eric Comstock and Barbara Fasano—to the Hamptons and host a swell-egant, elegant party (as Cole Porter would say) scored by some of the fizziest and finest music in the Broadway songbook. We’ll raise a toast to our most beloved songwriters and personalities and invite you into the magic, glamorous world of the theater with jokes, jibes, anecdotes, and an evening by the piano with a cocktail or two….”

Cast

Eric Comstock & Barbara Fasano
Pianist / Vocalists
Eric Comstock and Barbara Fasano, whose electrifying combination of warmth, wit, swing, and sensuality have made them the nightclub world's most celebrated team, are every bit as entertaining as they are musically savvy. Their new CD, PAINTING THE TOWN (Human Child Records), featuring tenor saxophone legend Houston Person, won the 2026 Manhattan Association of Cabarets (MAC) Award for Major Recording of the Year. The CD was released 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, “ingenious, swinging and stunning.”The New Yorker praises Comstock's “expert musicianship and joie de vivre in equal measure.” The New York Times calls Fasano "a lyrically sensitive interpreter with a special affinity for Joni Mitchell" and declares, “Mr. Comstock and Ms. Fasano are turning the neighborhood into a hotbed of pleasure … smart, funny, and utterly delightful.” Their fast-paced and swinging concerts of pop, jazz, and the American Songbook have audiences standing and cheering from coast to coast and in Europe. The married musical couple draws 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. The NYC Jazz Record’s Marilyn Lester raves, “great tunes, impeccable musicality, and vocal prowess.” Whether leading a trio or a larger ensemble, Comstock and Fasano 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. Comstock and Fasano’s cozy New York apartment is filled with awards for their concerts and recordings. Winners of 9 MAC Awards, 5 New York Bistro Awards and the New York Nightlife Award, they have also received the Donald F. Smith Award from the Mabel Mercer Foundation, acknowledging their "immeasurable contributions to the international world of cabaret and achieving a rank as preeminent jazz stylists." Fasano’s CDs “WRITTEN IN THE STARS” and “BUSY BEING FREE” were both awarded the MAC Award for Recording of the Year. All their recordings are available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and other streaming platforms.Their performances have taken them from New York’s Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Neue Galerie Concert Series, and Birdland Jazz Club to Saratoga Jazz Festival, Music Mountain Twilight Jazz, London’s Pizza Express, Italy’s Monteverdi Tuscany (where they will return in June 2026), and nightclubs and music festivals across the country.In the words of revered jazz critic Ira Gitler, they “have it all, and then some … artistic, swinging, and superbly entertaining.” Artist websites: barbarafasano.com / ericcomstock.net
