If you love Steely Dan, you may also like...?

I would honestly recommend Jamiroquai to just about any music fan, but I think Dan fans especially would appreciate Jay Kay's sense of production and arrangement, even if Jamiroquai doesn't sound incredibly like Steely Dan.

 

Totally agree!

 

Actually, reminds me a lot of "Hall & Oats."

 

Probably mentioned: The highly talented Ole borud

 

They are available on BandCamp, but you have to dig a little bit. Totally worth it...love Talc!

 

moe. "The Conch"

 

far cry - the more things change

 

Vulfpeck! Here is a link to them covering Kid Charlamegne with BERNARD PURDIE!!! -

Their original stuff is very much in the realm of Steely Dan -- a mixture of funk, rock, jazz, pop, blues, R&B, soul, allllll that stuff.

 

Not a bad funk thing going on there.
Just need a black female soul singer.

 

Not available.

Love their first 2. What's the word on new music from them? Their FB page has been inactive for quite some time.

 

Vulfpeck does have a fantasatic soul singer that tours and records with them, Antwaun Stanley, who has an amazing range.
here is Vulfpeck covering Peg with Antwaun singing, really fantastic (skip to 1:04:00) -- --bonus pocket piano solo
Here's one of my favorite cuts from their last album with him VULFPECK /// Aunt Leslie

 

Nyquil.

I'm kidding. I really, really like Steely Dan. But I also like to poke them and my liking of them.

 

Wow, these guys a good. Great sound. Definite purchase... thanks for the suggestion.

 

So tough. My favorite band and no, there's nothing else out there that consistently scratches the itch.

Boz Scaggs does it . . sometimes. The Doobies "Taking It To the Streets" and "Fault Line" albums get close . . . sometimes. Mayer Hawthorne tries to get close (and sometimes hits) on the new album.

But Don and Walter are sui generis.

 

I was gonna say the same one and throw in Sleeping Gypsy also.

 

Weren't the Dukes of September tours basically organized for just this purpose?

 

Dead. Just those two albums.

 

?

Also if you dig their sound, Vulfpeck & Co. have created their own compression called Vulf Compressor which contributes a lot to their final produced sound...and a slew of other plugins that can be found here -- Goodhertz, Inc.

heres a vid with Theo Katzman (Vulfpeck's guitarist/drummer) showing off one of their plugins

 

I would recommend Warren Zevon and Tom Waits, not so much for the sound. Both share a dark, cynical, satirical bent to their lyrics a'la the Dan.

 

Bummer. I remember a statement from them that they were working on new music . It was prob 2-3 years ago.

 

Raul Malo
Today
2001

Definitely nothing like SD, but this particular solo album, "Today" is very jazzy pop, with a strong Latin flavor.

Couldn't locate any samples of the studio album on the web, except perhaps on iTunes. YouTube only has some live versions of the t/t, but they don't compare to the studio work. The studio album is very rich and textured. It features Raul on vocals and guitar. It includes a lot of variety on accompaniment — various horns and flute, guitar, percussion, strong acoustic and electric bass, drums, piano and background vocals.
