Pretzel Logic — A Steely Dan Revue

Steely Dan’s music leaves nowhere to hide. The harmony, pocket, horn writing and vocal blend all have to agree at once. Led by keyboardist Steve Chernove, Pretzel Logic brings an 11-piece ensemble to Campus JAX: three vocalists, three horns and a five-piece rhythm section working across more than 70 songs. The familiar hits open the door; the deeper catalog reveals why this music continues to reward close listening. Tonight is not imitation for its own sake. It is the moment a meticulously constructed song becomes human again in the room.
