Steely Jazz: A Becker/Fagen Songbook

 
 

Wednesday 11th November 2026

This is something of a coup for The Spin: we present 5 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 from the media. UK Jazz claimed them to be “One of the finest things in British jazz at the moment”. Amen to that!

(Read the full article here to get the full picture)

The band comprises:

Chris Ingham - keys; guitars; vocals
Harry Greene - saxophone; guitar
Paul Higgs - trumpet; keys
Geoff Gascoyne - double bass 
George Double - drums; vocals

…and they come with serious pedigrees! Let’s randomly pick the bassist, Geoff Gascoyne. Geoff has worked with, among countless others: Sting, Van Morrison, Benny Golsen, Bill Bruford, Charlie Watts, The Mingus Big Band, Guy Barker, Claire Martin and on and on…!

Multi-instrumentalist Harry Greene has worked with such stars as Bernard Purdie (who actually recorded with Steely Dan!), Jo Harrop, Incognito, The Ronnie Scott’s All Stars, Arthur Hill etc. etc..

Expect to hear many of the ‘great’ songs from the Steely Dan back catalogue, such as ‘Josie’, ‘Any Major Dude’, ‘Bodhisatva’, 'Rikki Don’t Lose That Number’, ‘Black Friday’, ‘Aja’, 'Haitian Divorce’, ‘Gaucho’, ’Shame About Me’…
