The Spin presents: Steely Jazz – A Becker/Fagen Songbook 🎹🎷
Something of a coup for The Spin: five killer musicians who have established themselves as one of the most original bands interpreting the great music of Steely Dan. Led by multi-instrumentalist Chris Ingham, the band has been selling out around the country and garnering glowing reviews, with UK Jazz calling them “one of the finest things in British jazz at the moment”. Expect to hear many of the great songs from the Steely Dan back catalogue, including Josie, Any Major Dude, Bodhisattva, Rikki Don’t Lose That Number, Black Friday, Aja, Haitian Divorce, Gaucho and Shame About Me. Doors open at 7:30pm with the performance from 8:30pm.
What to expect:
🎷 The Steely Dan songbook, reimagined — A night of Becker and Fagen classics — from Rikki Don’t Lose That Number and Black Friday to Aja and Gaucho — played by a band steeped in the originals
🎹 A quintet with serious pedigree — Chris Ingham (keys, guitars, vocals) is joined by Harry Greene (saxophone, guitar), Paul Higgs (trumpet, keys), Geoff Gascoyne (double bass) and George Double (drums, vocals), with Gascoyne having worked with Sting, Van Morrison, Charlie Watts and the Mingus Big Band
🏆 A band at the top of its game — Steely Jazz has been selling out venues nationwide, earning a reputation as one of British jazz’s finest live acts — early booking is advised
