Steely Jazz - Chris Ingham Quintet

Chris Ingham's STEELY JAZZ: A Becker-Fagen SongbookThe singular songs of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, aka Steely Dan, combine cryptic, pungent lyrics with sophisticated music deeply influenced by, in their own words, the best jazz players of the 50s and 60s. Steely Jazz (aka the Chris Ingham Quintet) re-examines the Dan canon in a poignant, edifying and exciting show, featuring tracks from the quintets acclaimed album Walter/Donald. Famous classics (Rikki Dont 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 song.Watch a video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-yUXjI13Zs [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-yUXjI13Zs]Chris Ingham - vocal, piano, guitar
