Release Notes:
Bob Dorough and Dave Frishberg (his co-leader on
this CD) have a lot in common. Both are swinging
pianists, likable vocalists that do not have
conventional voices, and superb lyricists with very
original wits. They only collaborated once before
making this CD, writing "I'm Hip" back in 1965. In
recent times Ruth Price of Los Angeles' Jazz Bakery
persuaded the pair to perform as a duo and this
live recording is the result. After an instrumental
version of "Rockin' in Rhythm," Frishberg and
Dorough perform a new classic by the former, "Who's
on First," which deals with the difficulties of
deciding who should perform first during their
joint show! Frishberg "won" and he sings and plays
the biting "Lookin' Good" which is about the
advantages of being good-looking in this society.
Other highlights of the delightful program include
the touching "You Are There," "Where You At,"
Dorough's "Health Food Nut," "Hong Kong Blues,"
"Devil May Care," "Nothing Like You," and, of
course, "I'm Hip." Frishberg and Dorough also
perform their long overdue second collaboration,
"At the Saturday Dance," and the set concludes with
Dorough's catchy "Conjunction Function" from
Schoolhouse Rock. This is a fun CD that lives up to
its potential.
