 Tuscany, here we come ...

We're thrilled to be returning Resident Artists
at Monteverdi Tuscany, a gorgeous boutique hotel
in the most beautiful part of Italy, for an
exciting private event in June!

Eric Comstock & Barbara Fasano's new CD PAINTING THE TOWN
won the 2026 Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs
(MAC) Award for Record of the Year.
Eric & Barbara have won 10 MAC Awards,
5 New York Bistro Awards,
the New York Nightlife Award, and
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."

Joining them will be Eric & Barbara’s frequent collaborator,
acclaimed bassist/composer Sean Smith, who has
performed and recorded with such legends of jazz as
Gerry Mulligan, Art Farmer, Bill Charlap, and Peggy Lee.
“Quiet, poetic, and lyrical, Sean Smith reminds us that
the best jazz comes from the heart, not merely from
the mind or the fingers,” raves James Gavin,
author of biographies of Chet Baker,
Lena Horne, and George Michael.
