Have you listened to "Deacon Blues" ?
Fegen and Becker knew music , 1920's , 1930's , 1940's , 1950's , 1960's and to this they added or subtracted little tweaks. That make it Steely Dan !
Their contribution was incredible , they both thought Aja was a high point ! [ album ].
Turns out a friend in their youth had an older brother went to Korea and married a beautiful young lady named Aja . With the right backup the album came alive ! A musician who played with Miles had consented to playing on this session , so he was able to review what the progression was through the whole song , then when his turn came to perform he aced it on his saxophone !
Me and a buddy from work were going to see them and Steve Winwood in concert last year here in Little Rock but it just didn't happen. He was hurting for money at the time and I was working on getting a monkey of a debt off my back. Basically what I'm trying to say is...if you think something will be your last chance/only chance in a lifetime to do and you really want to do it POUNCE ON IT! I have everything Steely Dan has ever done in the studio and not only are they in regular rotation but always make it on a demo cd/file. Fagan's two solo albums are really good too.
