Following the news of Steely Dan’s upcoming performances at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, it has been announced today the band will have a run of select concerts in April 2015. On April 15 at 7:00 PM Steely Dan will perform at the Santa Barbara Bowl. Audiences in Santa Barbara will be treated to selections from The Dan's extraordinary four-decade catalog, rich with infectious tunes, bodacious harmonies, irresistible grooves, and sleek, subversive lyrics, punctuated by blazing solo work and rich ensembles.

Concertgoers can expect an evening of the same high-level of musical excellence from Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Walter Becker and Donald Fagen which, on recent tours, garnered raves from fans and critics alike such as: The Los Angeles Times printing, "(The crowd) were treated to something close to rapture…" and The New York Times stating, “(Steely Dan is) freed from studio permanence, reveling in the road…” along with The Chicago Sun-Times summing up the show as"…different… …live… …vibrant… ...a cascade of color carried along by Fagen, Becker, eight brilliant supporting musicians and three superb backing vocalists."

Steely Dan has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and helped define the soundtrack of the '70s with hits such as “Reelin’ in the Years,” “Rikki Don't Lose That Number,” “F.M.,” “Peg,” “Hey Nineteen,” “Deacon Blues,” and “Babylon Sisters,” culled from their seven platinum albums issued between 1972 and 1980 (including 1977's groundbreaking Aja). They reunited in the early '90s, launching a string of sold-out tours. In 2000 they released multi-Grammy winner (including “Album Of The Year”) Two Against Nature, and released its acclaimed follow-up Everything Must Go in 2003. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.

Roger Glenn, master multi-instrumentalist, composer and entertainer on the flute, sax, clarinet and vibraphone, is the son of the late Tyree Glenn, one of 57 notable jazz musicians pictured in the historic photo “A Great Day in Harlem,” and who worked with jazz icons including Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway and Louis Armstrong.

Roger has performed, toured and recorded with jazz legends such as Dizzy Gillespie, Mongo Santamaria, Rosemary Clooney, Herbie Mann and Pete Escovedo. His flute playing is featured on the Grammy-award winning album “La Onda Va Bien” with Cal Tjader, as well as many notable recordings by Donald Byrd, Peaches and Herb, ConFunkShun, and Bobby Hutcherson.

In addition to his own Roger Glenn Latin Jazz Ensemble and The San Francisco Jazz Quartet, he most recently has been touring with Taj Mahal and Kurt Elling, and The Count Basie Orchestra. You can hear samples of his music at www.myspace.com/rogerglenn and www.sfjazzquartet.com.
