We wrote about it in January; the signs that
Steely Dan might be considering touring again in 2009, perhaps taking the show on the road to Europe once again.
Nothing is official but we can't help but to keep connecting the dots.
Yesterday
kdc wrote a comment to our
January 14 post:
Well, the Umbria Jazz website did publicise Steely Dan in Perugia for July 2009... but I've just checked again and they have been removed! What does that say?
We went to
http://www.umbriajazz.com and all we could see were
Burt Bacharach,
Paolo Conte, James Taylor and Simply Red. No sign of
Steely Dan.

But we did find a
discussion forum where the Umbria Jazz festival and James Taylor is discussed. They also have
a link to a press release about the just finished
Umbria Jazz Winter festival. Using our non-existant Italian we can still deduct from the final paragraph of the press release that at least
Umbria Jazz and
Steely Dan must have been in discussions:

Translated it roughly says:
See you in Perugia for Umbria Jazz 09 July 10 - 19. Some of the artists featured are Burt Bacharach, Steely Dan, James Taylor, Paolo Conte, Simply Red.
The plot thickens...
P.S. Thanks to kdc for the original info!

Great! Let's hope we get an official press release from the band next month. If Steely Dan will play Italy this summer we'll do our bets to be there! See you in July :)
