Steve Gadd on the drums. Literally one of the most recorded studio drummers ever. An absolute legend
The whole Aja album is a masterpiece.
I'm almost crying tears of joy watching people from your generation truly digging this music. I have a little hope for you.
While it's clear that both of your parents did a fine job raising you, they were also clearly deficient in not exposing you to Steely Dan. Time to catch up!
I'm a baby Boomer, 70 years old I survived the sixties and seventies, We had some of the greatest music there ever was and ever will be⭐⭐☮☮
Wayne Shorter on that exquisite sax, and one of the greatest Steve Gadd drum performances ever.
I love it when people discover Steely Dan
If you reacted this way on 1 listen, imagine how we feel after listening to it for 45 years! It never gets old.
They celebrate the music of Steely Dan
I do think Aja is by far the band's best album -- so well-done, perfectly arranged and produced to a T. And I think I'm in the majority when I think that the title track is their magnum opus. Everything was perfect. The bridge is one of the best I've ever heard out of a rock song. Even when you compare and contrast all the progressive rock albums, you don't see this much action all happening at once. Wayne Shorter and Steve Gadd really nailed it; all chaos just breaks loose in a good way and then you have the final verse to bring the elements back into harmony. It really is a masterpiece and I think to people who have never heard the band before, Aja would make a great starter to get into the band's albums.
This was one of those albums that you would play over and over.
Aja sounds like you're at the best jazz club in the world. Really makes you happy and feel good.
The '70's music scene was, as it is in most eras, geared to teens. Steely Dan was one of the few bands that wrote adult songs for adults but without sacrificing musical inventiveness and energy...
A Steely Dan Crash Course:
By the time when Becker and Fagen recorded Aja they were, essentially, one of the world’s best recording session bands. The combination of their songwriting and reputation as perfectionists attracted exceptional players to join them on different albums. They sought out and begged, borrowed, and stole the best players they could for albums. Read up on some of the guest session players and you’ll see a roll call of some of the best in rock and jazz in the credits.
Kid Charlemagne is a must listen. The story of Stanley Owlsley featuring one of the tastiest guitar solos of all time.
For something different from Steely Dan, try "Bodhisattva" or "Kid Charlemagne" or "The Royal Scam" or "Babylon Sisters" or "Gaucho."
Aja is a perfect album, throw it on and enjoy all the way...
Hands down Aja is one of absolutely best recorded and produced album throughout the entire music history! Change my mind!
Deacon Blues and Peg were the 2 big radio hits from this album. Start to finish this album is a masterpiece! Steely Dan used the absolute cream of the crop of jazz session players on this album. Larry Carlton on guitar, Steve Gadd mind blowing drums, Wayne Shorter on sax. What a milestone.
