The Dukes of September – Kid Charlemagne (Live From Lincoln Center)

The Dukes of September Rhythm Revue formed in 2010 as a touring entity which evolved out of the New York Rock and Soul Revue which showcased the three musicians performing the R&B and soul music that inspired them as well as a selection of their respective hits. The band’s name is a moniker hearkening back to the aristocratic names of doo wop groups from the ‘50s. Featuring Fagen, McDonald and Scaggs, the band is rounded out by Jon Herrington (guitar), Freddie Washington (bass), Shannon Forrest (drums) Jim Beard (organ), the horn section consisting of Jay Collins, Michael Leonhart and Walt Weiskopf; and vocalists Carlyn Leonhart and Catherine Monet Owens.

Their concept of a rock and soul revue is a rollicking showcase that focuses not just on their well-known hits such as “Reelin’ in the Years,” “Lido Shuffle” and “Takin’ it to the Streets”, but also forays into rock and R&B gems such as “Sweet Soul Music” and “Love T.K.O.”

Says the Hollywood Reporter: “If this be minstrelsy, it’s a pretty classy and irresistible version of it.
