All About Sound

Steely Dan

Steely Dan is a Grammy-Award winning American jazz rock band. Walter Becker and Donald Fagen were the principles. The band's popularity peaked in the 1970s, with six albums that blended jazz, rock, funk, R&B, and pop. Their music is characterized by complex jazz-influenced structures and harmonies and recording studio perfection. The group toured from 1972 to 1974, but in 1975 retired to studio recording only. They quit in 1981 and then resumed tours in the summers of 1993 and 1994 with new studio releases in 2000: “Two Against Nature” and in 2003's “Everything Must Go” 

Becker and Fagen received Honorary Doctor of Music degrees from the Berklee College of Music in 2001.

Stephen says that he was first introduced to Steely Dan recordings as a good example of  recording art -- excellent mixing and mastering in addition to good music.
