On March 18, the Dukes of September Rhythm Revue, a supergroup consisting of Donald Fagen, Boz Scaggs and five-time Grammy winner Michael McDonald, will put out a Blu-ray/DVD of a concert recorded in Nov. 2012. A clip of 'Kid Charlemagne' is embedded above...
Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa - Can't Let Go from See Saw (2013)
Boz Scaggs - It All Went Down The Drain from Hits Live (2004)
Derek Trucks Band with Gregg Allman - Drown in My Own Tears from Soul Serenade (2003)
The muted tones, occasionally punched by brass or hi-hat, on Boz Scaggs’ ‘Memphis’ should sound familiar to R&B fans.

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Bono, and Steve Winwood, are among the many legendary artists appearing in the new documentary, Muscle Shoals, which will premiere this year at the Sundance Film Festival.
The Dukes of September, the supergroup/soul revue featuring Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs, will be recording their performance tonight (Nov. 16) at New York's Lincoln Center. The concert will be broadcast on an upcoming installment of PBS' 'Great Performances' series.
After the success of this past summer's Dukes of September shows with Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs, Donald Fagen says its next stop could be PBS. He says instead of releasing a CD or DVD right away, the guys are talking to public TV about it airing as a Great Performances special -- likely for use in one of their pledge drives...
