Bob Lefsetz has been writing a lot about Steely Dan lately. This summer the Dan has been performing their albums, in their entirety, in different cities. They did come through Atlanta but we weren’t privy to the multiple dates.

I forwarded Lefsetz’s e-mails to the 2 true Steely Dan fans I know. I’ve also been enjoying Steely Dan’s music as well, going through another phase. I have some on vinyl and I think that’s the best way to hear them.

Anyways, I watched this clip before. It features Steely Dan’s current drummer, Keith Carlock. The guy is a beast. Go straight to 7:25 to see Carlock shred his solo on, “Aja.” The solo was originally done by Steve Gadd on the record. However I think Carlock’s solo may top Gadd’s.
