Pioneering pop/jazz band SteeIy Dan, formed by Donald Fagen and Walter Backer in the earIy '70s, had already secured five U.S. Top 40 albums before the reIease of Aja in 1977. Aja however, was to prove to be the biggest seIling album of Steely Dan's iIlustrious career, reaching Number 3 on the U.S. BiIlboard chart, spending a year in the Top 40 there, and also reaching Number 5 in the U.K.
Aja was the first British Top 10 hit for SteeIy Dan and also the first album by Becker and Fagen as a duo. Becker and Fagen, renowned for their relentIess perfectionism in the recording studios, recall the history of an album that was a year in the making, but rewarded by a prestigous Grammy Award and three major hit singIes, "Peg", "Deacon Blues", and "Jose". MichaeI McDonald, Iater of the Doobie Brothers, who did guest backing vocaIs on Aja, the Iate Bristish musician Ian Dury, record producer Gary Katz, and the Iegendary session musicians who worked on Aja aIso contribute to this fascinating documentary.
Steely Dan's Aja has proven to be one of the most outstanding jazz-rock albums in the history of popular music. This is a vivid portrait of a '70s record that is stiIl as fresh and as memorable more than two decades after its release, a true CIassic Album. |
