"Attended my first great show of 2012: Vernon Reid conducting the Burnt Sugar Arkestra through a suite of Steely Dan classics imagined with more soul than Fagan & Becker's records. The songs are so inventive they keep their flavor even when stretched. Becker & Fagan need to hear this re-arrangement of "Black Cow" by V. Reid and the Burnt Sugar Arkestra. They found the funky soul in its DNA and mined it like a gold mine. They must make a record." - Nelson George
