Steely Dan's Aja by Don Breithaupt
A close, musicological and narrative examination of the creation, sound and cultural impact of the landmark 1977 album by Steely Dan, combining studio-session reportage, interviews and technical analysis to reconstruct the band’s exacting recording methods; the contributions of top L.A. session players; the arrangements, production choices and harmonic language behind each track; the lyrical themes of urban malaise and irony; and the album’s critical reception and lasting influence on jazz‑rock and pop production.
