Great_Albums#AlbumForToday: #SteelyDan – #Aja (1977). By the time of Aja, Dan’s duo Fagen and Becker had long since shed any obligations to rock and roll conventions. The music’s unabashed slickness melded rock and jazz to the point where one genre simply fed off the other. Songs like “Home at Last” were oddly moving, while supporting musicians – Steve Gadd’s drum break in “Aja,” Jay Graydon’s guitar solo on “Peg” – prevented the music from sinking into jazzercise banality.
