Music: Steely Dan
By Staff
Less a band than a concept, Steely Dan was one of the most advanced, successful and mysterious pop units of the 1970s. The release of 'Two Against Nature' in 2000 resurrected Walter Becker and Donald Fagen as a viable recording unit and won them several Grammy Awards. The band holds forth for two nights at the Taft Theatre, playing their classic album 'Aja' in its entirety Nov. 10 and 'The Royal Scam' Nov. 11.

Art: Form from Form at the Philip M. Meyers Jr. Gallery
By Tamera Lenz Muente
Artists are a lot like scientists: They interpret what they’ve gathered, creating solutions to problems or theories that pose more questions — in physical, visual form. This concept was the impetus for the current exhibition Form from Form: Art from Discovery at the University of Cincinnati’s Phillip M. Meyers, Jr. Memorial Gallery. The eight-artist show is fabulous and thought-provoking, and part of UC’s larger celebration of the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species. Through Nov. 23.
