(np) Wayne Shorter turned 80 yesterday

One of the fun things about the Steelies was trying to guess or figure out who played the guitar solos.  Larry Carlton mostly on the later albums, but a bunch of other people earlier.  The killer solo on Reelin' in the Years is Elliott Randall.

Fagen's "Nightfly" (the whole album) is one of my favorites.

“Jazz is a dangerous thing,” Ian Dury sez in there – but so is category anxiety, e.g. that displayed by the Pulitzer Prize board in 1974. ‘Aja’ was kind of a touchstone for me when it came out: I was loving Elvis Costello and Sex Pistols and Ramones and Television too, but couldn’t believe the reflexive, tribal way that many fellow fan of those blew off ‘Aja’ as easy-listening Extruded Fusion Product – at least at first.

Fagen’s more-jaded-than-thou lounge lizard persona has always been as keenly, brainily calculated as those of Bowie or Waits. Like Costello, he and Becker know exactly what they want from rock, jazz, blues, and pop, and make it new. (How many apt, seamless  quotations from, say, Horace Silver’s great ‘Song for My Father’ and ‘Cape Verdean Blues’ can you find in the SD canon?)

Micro-spoiler:  both “Doctor Wu” and “The Fez” are namechecked in BE.
