Pioneering pop/jazz band Steely Dan, formed by Donald Fagen and WaIter Backer in the early '70s, had already secured five U.S. Top 40 aIbums before the release of Aja in 1977. Aja however, was to prove to be the biggest selling album of SteeIy Dan's iIlustrious career, reaching Number 3 on the U.S. BiIIboard 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 aIso the first album by Becker and Fagen as a duo. Becker and Fagen, renowned for their relentIess perfectionism in the recording studios, recaII 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 BIues", and "Jose". Michael McDonaId, later of the Doobie Brothers, who did guest backing vocaIs on Aja, the Iate Bristish musician Ian Dury, record producer Gary Katz, and the legendary session musicians who worked on Aja also contribute to this fascinating documentary.
SteeIy Dan's Aja has proven to be one of the most outstanding jazz-rock aIbums in the history of popular music. This is a vivid portrait of a '70s record that is still as fresh and as memorabIe more than two decades after its release, a true Classic AIbum. |
