Opportunities to see Dave Frishberg are a rarity these days, so don’t delay in making your reservations for Do You Miss New York?, the terrific new show featuring the great jazz vocalist/composer and Broadway actress/singer Jessica Molaskey. The Oak Room provides the perfect setting for the duo, since their repertoire includes songs from The New Yorkers, a work-in-progress musical about the legendary members of the Algonquin Round Table.

The evening consists almost entirely of material from Frishberg’s extensive oeuvre, and it’s a pleasure to hear so many of them interpreted by the songwriter himself. His droll, understated delivery perfectly serves the sly, satirical humor of such songs as “Slappin’ the Cakes,” “I’m Hip” and “My New Celebrity,” the latter updated with amusing up-to-the-moment references to figures ranging from Charlie Sheen to Molaskey’s husband, guitarist/singer John Pizzarelli.

Most of his more sincerely emotive songs, such as the beautiful “Heart’s Desire,” are handled by Molaskey, whose smoky, jazz-inflected vocal stylings perfectly complement her co-star.

But she reveals some wicked humor of her own with such numbers as “I Won’t Scat,” a funny variation on the standard “I Won’t Dance,” and especially on his classic “My Attorney Bernie,” which the songwriter admitted was his most popular.

Frishberg demonstrated his accomplished pianism with his expertly intricate, fast-paced playing. Although he flubbed a few times and had to restart several songs, it’s quite excusable considering the complexity of the material and the fact that he’s in his late seventies.

Now based in Portland, Oregon, Frishberg’s visits to the Big Apple are few and far between. Don’t miss this opportunity to see this legendary jazz figure at this wonderfully intimate venue.
