Donald Fagen - New Frontier
Posted on September 16th, 2007 by ecthompson
A completely unique sound. I first heard Donald Fagen like most person when he was with Steely Dan. Peg was the first tune that I remember hearing from them. What a cool sound. The harmonies. The groove. The jazzy sax. When Steely Dan split Donald Fagen then produced and wrote one of my favorite albums of all-time (Other albums on that list would Stevie Wonder’s Fulfillingness First Finale, Miles Davis - Kind of Blue, I’m sure there are others but that’s all for now) - Night Fly. This is one of those few albums that call you to but on your Bose headphones and turn it up!
I must congratulate you on your great taste in music . Are you familiar with the earlier Dan albums - Katy Lied, Pretzel Logic, royal Scam?
Louis -
Yes, of course. Donald Fagen hated the recording quality of Katy Lied and tried to stop its release. Aja is a classic probably one of the best albums of all time. Pretzel Logic and Royal Scam were good albums but Aja is my favorite.
Thanks for your comments.
