STEELY

Chris Ingham (piano/guitar/vocal) Harry Greene (sax/guitar) Paul Higgs (trumpet/keyboard) Geoff Gascoyne (bass) George Double (drums) The songs of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, AKA Steely Dan, stood alone in 1970s rock; musically sophisticated, lyrically cryptic and deeply influenced by, in their own words, ?the best jazz players of the ?50s and ?60s?. Steely Jazz re-examines the Dan canon, illuminating the singular melodies, lush harmonies and exploring the small jazz group possibilities of an incomparably rich songbook. Featuring well-known pieces (?Rikki Don?t Lose That Number?, ?Josie?), alongside classic tracks and deep cuts from the masterpiece albums Aja, Gaucho, Countdown To Ecstasy, et al, Steely Jazz is a fresh, exciting celebration of two giants of 20th Century popular music.
