   For those of you who don't get Hoops' Digest - a tasty tidbit from the   
   latest....................can't wait to get my hands on this!!!!!!!   
      
   THE ROYAL DAN   
   Tone Center 4047   
   May 9 Release date   
      
   More than a tribute, this all-star lineup reimagines 10 Steely Dan   
   classics as jazz-rock fusion instrumental jams.   
      
   Produced by Jeff Richman, who organized previous fusion all-star salutes   
   to John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and The Mahavishnu Orchestra for Tone   
   Center, the set streets on May 9.   
      
   Without a doubt, Richman morphed these cats into a fantastic band.   
      
   The core group consists of Ernie Watts, saxophones; Jeff Richman,   
   guitars; Peter Wolf, keyboards; Jimmy Haslip, bass; and Vinnie Colaiuta,   
   drums.
