This CD was a pretty cool find. Walter Becker and Donald Fagen jamming and jawing with Jazz piano great Marian McPartland. The disc contains a mixture of full band compositions and piano only tracks. The first song is a cool instrumental called "Limbo Jazz" that features the full band and serves notice that this is a Jazz record first and not your typical Steely Dan outing. Donald and Marian melodically feel their way through some stripped down piano instrumentals and then turn their dueling keyboards into the backbone of the Steely Dan numbers. The two blues tunes("Chain Lightning" and "Hesitation Blues")are standouts, while "Josie" and "Black Friday" are instantly recognizable and delightfully unpolished renditions of classic Steely Dan hits. The musical selections alternate with conversations usually discussing something about the song or composer of the next or preceding piece. Jazz lovers and Steely fans should both enjoy this disc. Get it while you can.Read full review
This one is definitely interesting! While these guys are so much on the lighter side of life this one has just a touch more seriousness regarding the music! Totally a must have for the Steely Dan fan!
