Steely Dan's Aja, Deconstructed

If you have ever listened to the title cut from the Steely Dan album, Aja, then you know what a complex piece of music it is.

Donald and Walter took pieces of other compositions they were working on at different times and combined them into a suite, of sorts.

They not only put together the music, they got some of the best in the business, to play on it.

Steve Gadd on Drums and Wayne Shorter on Sax, add just the right amount of punch to the tune.

Check out THIS article and play the songs, as you read it.

The men are geniuses and that is why this album is "The One" that decades of audiophiles used to test their speaker systems.

Enjoy.
