Steely Dan always got the best from the best.
That's why it is ageless.

One of My favorite Steely songs to play along with. So much space between the notes. Really lovely. ❤️

The best in the business! Always perfection never compromise!

They knew how to choose their session musicians (if you can call Bernard Purdie a simple session musician)

Jeff Porcaro derived the Rosanna shuffle from Bernard Purdie and John Bonham (Fool in the Rain).

Steely Dan -- "Aja" Album. Like Fleetwood Mac "Rumours" and Stevie Wonder "Songs in the Key of Life" this is a MUST HAVE ALBUM. Let me throw in Midnight Starr's "No Parking on the Dance Floor" and I can de-program ANY Millenial with a single Road Trip from Southern California to Las Vegas.

Did you sing ""you think you heard this one before" like I did?

But they wanted to be "We don't want Motown". They also told Chuck Rainey not to thump.
