For Dave Frishberg - internationally known jazz pianist, songwriter, and lyricist - it all began when he was in elementary school during World War II. Mentored by his brother, Mort, 7 years his senior, Dave discovered the music of Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald and Bing Crosby while listening to 78-rpm records from Mort's collection. For good measure, Mort also taught Dave how to play boogie-woogie and blues on the piano. This musical indoctrination perfectly sharpened Dave's musical tastes and lay the foundation for his lifelong love of music and the camaraderie of musicians. Here, Dave takes readers from his boyhood and university days in Minnesota, to his Air Force service in Salt Lake City and then on to his life as a pianist and songwriter in New York City and Los Angeles.
