The New York Rock and Soul Revue was a musical project supergroup that evolved out of a series of concerts produced and promoted by singer-songwriter Libby Titus at the Lone Star Roadhouse, the Spectrum and other Northeast concert venues, eventually coalescing around unofficial "band leader" Donald Fagen from 1989âÂÂ1993.
The project's only release is a 1991 live album ' (Giant Records), a compilation of material recorded earlier that year from live performances at New York City's Beacon Theatre.
Fagen, the frontman and co-founder of Steely Dan, had largely focused on songwriting during that group's near decade-long hiatus in the 80s, and would go on to credit the unique blend of veteran talent Titus had assembled with reigniting his passion for performing live. It featured various musicians including Michael McDonald, Boz Scaggs and Phoebe Snow.
The project resurrected in new form as The Dukes of September in early 2010's featuring Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs.
