    Consider your ears blessed. You just listened to arguably the greatest piece of studio session music ever recorded.

    Legendary music aside, this album is also considered one of the greatest mixed and mastered albums. A must for anyone studying audio engineering.

      Right On! But let's not forget to give a shout out to Wayne Shorter for his sax solo's he did along with Steve Gadd on the title track Aja on the Steely Dan LP, ya dig? That's no disrespect to any of the other kick-azz musicians who laid down some great grooves & vibes on the Aja LP at all. I'm just saying Steve & Wayne were really the 2 who made the Aja jam come alive, IMO. +Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Souls My Friends+ 🤘😉🤘

    One of the finest Saxophone solos by Wayne Shorter. Check out his amazing work with the jazz-fusion band, Weather Report.

    Nicely put. The great thing about this particular form of art is we can witness it over and over again. Come in here and watch others experience it for the first time and remember our own feelings of discovery. Scintillating!

    Even this song tends to lean towards jazz I would say it is more fusion which is a blend of rock , blues, and jazz!

    Luv your reaction to this "rock" classic. I say rock because classic rock stations played it long ago. Rarely do I hear Steely Dan on a Jazz station. But they have obvious jazz influences and musicians in their mix.

    Asia is a beautiful ride! Superb writing, arranging, playing, with some of the best musicians in the biz. The breaks and turns in this piece are sooo satisfying. SD's music was/is a genre in and of itself.

    Since you had a wickedly positive response to Anastacia and the unique vocal effects of her voice, I'm gonna put this artist out here as a suggestion.
    I don't know if you've already heard some of her stuff, but I would really really like to see/hear you react to Florence+The Machine. Particularly the songs "You Got The Love", "Sweet Nothing", and "Spectrum".
