Dave Frishberg

Dave Frishberg was such an amazing Artist. I am a jazz vocalist, and I remember singing with him on occasion. It was so thrilling for me to be performing with such a master. I will never forget his warmth, his sense of humor, and his kindness.

Unforgettable! Thank you for the music and clever lyrics!

I was lucky enough to see Dave perform at the Jazz Bakery and also my alma mater, CSULB. I have enjoyed his music for years and will continue to. He made the world a funny and interesting place to live. I will miss him. RIP

Very sorry to hear about Dave's passing. My deepest condolences to his family.

Like many people, I was introduced to Dave's remarkable work and irresistible personality in his first NPR interview with Terry Gross. I blew my meager 1983 budget to take a date to an intimate dinner house concert of Dave's in a Hollywood restaurant. He was an enormous inspiration to me as a pianist, composer and wit. His songs are packed with wordplay, irony, compassion, grace, reverence and intellect, his piano playing a fountain of joy. To Dave's family I say, countless thousands of us...

My late husband Al Plank and I hung out with Dave and his wife April for many years. I cherish many memories and laughs. Goodbye dearest Dave.

Dave and Rebecca Kilgore made a fabulous duo. Portland was fortunate to have him.

I was saddened to hear of Dave Frishberg's passing. He was such a brilliant artist. I used to book him and Rebecca Kilgore at the Camellia Lounge in NW Portland. I am a jazz vocalist, and I learned so much as I listened to his performances. I even had the opportunity to perform with Dave at one occasion at the Camellia Lounge. I will never forget his kindness, warmth, humor - and his amazing talent. Dave Frishberg was a treasure among the Portland music community, and he will be greatly...
