Live from Studio A in New York City is an album by violinist Johnny Frigo. It was his second album as leader and came over 30 years after his debut. This was also the first album recorded by Chesky Records.
The album was recorded in November 1988. In addition to Frigo, the musicians were guitarists Bucky Pizzarelli and John Pizzarelli, bassists Ron Carter and Michael Moore (one of whom played on each track), and drummer Butch Miles. The material is standards.
Live from Studio A in New York City was released by Chesky Records and was their first issue. The Penguin Guide to Jazz described it as "a strong set, with a great band, though Miles is typically showy". The AllMusic reviewer wrote that Frigo "was immediately considered one of the top swing-based violinists".
