 Reviews from the Steely Dan 2000 world tour... " The most valuable sideman in the so-called Steely Dan Orchestra 2000 was guitarist Jon Herington " John Soeder - Cleveland Plain Dealer "
On board the Steely Dan train for the first time is lead guitarist Jon
Herington, who has a wonderful habit of beginning his guitar solos by
quoting from the song's original solo, then venturing into his own territory.
It was fascinating listening to Herington trade solos with Becker, also
a great player " Greg Glasgow - Camera
Popular Music "
And quicksilver guitarist Jon Herington picked, scratched and poked
his way to standing ovations in the encore on fan favorites My Old School'
and 'FM'
" " Guitarist Jon Herington has the most difficult job, having to paraphrase nearly every lead and rhythm guitarist who has ever played with Steely Dan while a thousand jealous guitarists examine each lick " John L Walters - The Guardian, London. "...players
like sax man Cornelius Bumpus, guitarist Jon Herington and drummer Ricky
Lawson give Becker and Fagen the freedom to pursue any sound they want
" " The band, always about sophistication, has put together yet another touring band where every instrument matters, from Jon Herington's stinging guitar to Ricky Lawson's intricate percussion..." Denver Rocky Mountain News "
The owlish Becker, meanwhile, maintained an amusingly deadpan presence,
dashing off sublime blues-inflected fills during Cousin Dupree and FM,
but often allowing himself to be upstaged by lead guitarist Jon Herington,
whose sleek, edgy soloing on My Old School and Black Friday, to name
but two, was nothing short of sensational " "...many
of the nights joys came from this unit's remarkable ensemble cohesion
and vibrant soloing by, in particular, guitarist Jon Herington and drummer
Ricky Lawson " "...and first-rate band members, including Jon Herington on guitar, the saxophonists Bob Sheppard and Cornelius Bumpus, Michael Leonhart on trumpet and Ted Baker on keyboard " Jon Pareles - New York Times "
At Jones Beach, second guitarist Jon Herington provided a pert counterpoint
to axe-man Becker. While the latter specializes in sleek and glistening
leads, Herington put in more bite. He excelled in forceful numbers like
"Peg," "Kid Charlemagne," or "My Old School," where he navigated the
maze of horn punctuations with spirit " " Aside from Lawson's brilliance on drums, two of the more engaging solo performances came courtesy of Jon Herington, a wicked good lead guitarist, who didn't miss a lick " Nadine Burgess - Toronto's Molson Amphitheatre "...needle-sharp lead guitar by Jon Herington " - The Washington Post Company "...absolutely
the finest guitar picks in the world "
