Concertgoers to “Jamalot Ever After” can expect the same high-level of musical excellence which, on recent tours, garnered raves from fans and critics alike:

“Everyone gathered Friday evening was a believer — and they were treated to something close to rapture.” - The Los Angeles Times

“(Steely Dan is) a latter-day jazz big band tweaking a cherished repertory… freed from studio permanence, reveling in the road.” – The New York Times

“The songs are the thing, and what songs they are (Steely Dan) dipped into pretty much every facet of their vast and rich repertoire, serving up an 18-tune set distinguished by its muscularity, finesse and chopsmanship.” - The Globe & Mail

“This was different. This was live. This was vibrant. This was a cascade of color carried along by Fagen, Becker, eight brilliant supporting musicians and three superb backing vocalists.” - The Chicago Sun-Times

Onstage, Donald and Walter are joined once again by their now-legendary supporting musicians: Keith Carlock on drums, Freddie Washington on bass, Jim Beard on keyboards, Jon Herington on guitar, Michael Leonhart on trumpet and keys, Jim Pugh on trombone, Roger Rosenberg on baritone saxophone and Walt Weiskopf on saxophone. The band wouldn’t be complete without the three sublime, soulful songbirds: La Tanya Hall, Carolyn Leonhart, and Cindy Mizelle. [band member bios and websites are here]. Together, they will treat audiences to selections from The Dan’s extraordinary four-decade catalog, rich with infectious tunes, bodacious harmonies, irresistible grooves, and sleek, subversive lyrics — all punctuated with blazing solo work and rich ensembles.
