    Default JRR: testing the boundaries

    Now that Alyn is running the show I thought I'd request some Steely Dan.

    They snuck in some heavy jazz elements in their old LPs, and I have a couple of candidates which I think fit the bill.

    Here's #1 - this is basically bebop:

    Not the 'Dan but still a mighty version of a Trane classic:

    I'm looking for the Hoops McCann Band version of Babylon Sisters (arranged by Vic Feldman) but nothing on Yewtuub....so here's another one (I have this LP):

    ...and here's the original and best version. Feldman plays not only the Rhodes piano solo but also the Clavinet part:

    We featured Fagen and Becker on my World Service show Jazzmatazz, so it's not out of the question, Bruce. Send me your requests...

    as a Steely Dan fan i can only congratulate you on this magnificent thread Tenor F!

    a personal hit for me

    "Society is indeed a contract. It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.”
