Steely Dan

In November 2012, Steely Dan's Donald Fagen performed as part of the supergroup The Dukes of September, which included icons Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs. At this time, Fagen was riding the wave of his solo endeavors post the release of Steely Dan's 2000 album “Two Against Nature,” which won a Grammy for Album of the Year; additionally, he had released his solo album “Morph the Cat” in 2006. Their performance of “Pretzel Logic” during this live recording highlights not only the enduring appeal of Steely Dan's classic hits but also the band's ability to blend genres, prominently featuring jazz, rock, and R&B influences. The formation of The Dukes of September showcases the collaborative spirit among these legendary artists, further imbued with nostalgia for fans of the 1970s music scene, as they celebrated an era characterized by intricate compositions and sophisticated lyrics.
