 "Once you immerse yourself in Frishbergiana, the constant astonishment
can tire you out if you´re not careful. This is how to be careful with
Frishberg: don´t listen to one of his discs more than once a day, even
though you´re inclined at times to listen to nothing but. Frishberg,
who dazzles with word play, exemplifies the high ground of wit, craft
and musical imagination, displayed here so generously." Daniel Okrent,
writer and editor who has written about jazz for Esquire, Time, Fortune
and other publications and was for several years a senior editorial
executive at Time, Inc

Reviews:
With his fun, freewheeling approach to puns and sophisticated word
play, Dave Frishberg never seems to take himself too seriously. There
may be tender moments in his songs, as with "Little Did I Dream," but
the punchline is never far behind. Do You Miss New York? is a lovely
set performed before an appreciative audience at the Lincoln Center in
2002. There are stylish cuts, like "Quality Time," that turn tired
clichés inside out and upside down, and more traditionally minded
pieces, like "I Was Ready," are about falling in love. Frishberg shows
his endless imagination on oddities like "Jaws," an unlikely theme song
for the movie of the same name, and "Oklahoma Toad," a Western-styled
jazz song about a toad and a bug. Frishberg accompanies himself with
piano and even shows he's a sensitive player on the six-minute
"Swinging the Classics." Since these songs were recorded in December,
he also offers his version of a holiday song with "The Difficult
Season," a song that aptly captures the melancholy mood that descends
on many at that time of year. Fans of Frishberg's innovative lyrics
will be happy to have a new live disc, while Do You Miss New York? will
also work as a fine intro to those unfamiliar with his smart and deft
lyrical constructions.
