Steely Dan’s “Babylon Sisters”

Steely Dan’s music is so rich with color! So many bold harmonic choices! Babylon Sisters from the Gaucho album is among my very favorites! Navigating these voicings can be rough. I’ve played it here as an accompaniment to my vocal - so I’m playing bass notes as well as right hand voicings in the middle of the keyboard. Using just the right amount of variety but staying nice and warm and out of the way is so important! #jazz #pianochords #steelydan #donaldfagen #walterbecker #babylonsisters #voicings #keyboard #harmony

I get the melody starting from 'aint no one night stand its a real occasion' stuck in my head for MONTHS at a time. Such a great song

That Bbmi9 note is everything. It's such a beautiful resolution.

Just discovered this - love your subtle shadings of the chords. As much as I love the original, I appreciate it even more after listening to this. I’m sure Donald F. would approve!🙌
