The Dukes of September was an American supergroup formed in 2010, featuring Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs. The project revived the earlier New York Rock and Soul Revue, which had featured the same three musicians performing a mix of their own hits alongside a wide range of classic soul and rock covers. Donald Fagen and Michael McDonald first collaborated in the mid‑1970s, when McDonald contributed vocals and keyboards to Steely Dan recordings. They worked together again in the early 1990s as part of the short‑lived New York Rock and Soul Revue, which also included Boz Scaggs, Phoebe Snow, Eddie Brigati, David Brigati, Charles Brown, Walter Becker, Cornelius Bumpus and Mindy Jostyn. In 2010, it was announced that Fagen, McDonald and Scaggs would tour together as the Dukes of September. The touring band included Steely Dan regulars Jon Herington (guitar), Freddie Washington (bass), Michael White (drums, later replaced by Shannon Forrest), Jim Beard (organ), Jay Collins (horns), Michael Leonhart (horns), Walt Weiskopf (horns), Carolyn Escoffery (vocals) and Catherine Russell (vocals). The tour began on August 19, 2010, in Danbury, Connecticut. The group performed hits from the members’ individual careers as well as a broad selection of covers, including a notable sequence of three songs by The Band. On June 14, 2012, the Dukes of September appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to promote their 2012 summer tour.
