STEELY JAZZ A BECKER/FAGEN SONGBOOK The singular songs of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, aka Steely Dan, have cryptic, pungent lyrics and sophisticated music deeply influenced by, in their own words, “the best jazz players of the ‘50s and ‘60s”. Steely Jazz re-examines the Dan canon in a poignant, edifying and exciting show, featuring tracks from the Chris Ingham Quintet’s acclaimed album Walter/Donald . Famous classics (“Rikki Don’t Lose That Number”, “Josie”, “Reelin’ in the Years”) juxtapose deep cuts from the nine Steely Dan albums 1972-2003 in a fresh, exciting celebration of two giants of 20th Century popular music. Featuring: Chris Ingham (vocal, piano, guitar), Paul Higgs (trumpet, piano), Simon Bates (saxophone), Geoff Gascoyne (double bass) and George Double (drums, percussion, harmony vocal). “Ingham brings it off…wonderful songs carefully turned ” RICHARD WILLIAMS, THE BLUE MOMENT “Excellent interpretations, full of riches” – MARK GILBERT, JAZZ JOURNAL “This quintet is a cut above” **** JOHN BUNGEY, MOJO “Compelling, the same, but different, magnetism of the originals” LANCE LIDDLE, BEBOP SPOKEN HERE “Brings the songs to life in a jazz group context in a remarkable way” ANDREW CARTMEL, UKJAZZ NEWS Tickets £20 online , from the Box Office on 01252 811009 or on the door (cash or card).
