    I am more and more convinced that The Nightfly is one of the all time truly great albums.

    Very enjoyable in it's fresh and energetic sound!! Not simply a "dead on imitation";bravo!!

    Ik ben 15 en speel saxofoon en mijn vader zei." Luister eens naar The Nightfly en naar deze geweldige muzikanten. En deze fantastische saxofonist. In 1982 veranderde de c.d. The Nightfly mijn hele kijk en perspectief op muziek", zei hij.......... mijn vader heeft gelijk...

      Same here. Het was in 1982 'mijn' ontdekking van Fagen en Steely Dan. Ik heb the Nightfly jarenlang beschouwd als mijn favoriete LP.

    The mix is imperfect - the bass is hidden to the point that is is a muffled background subtone. Too bad cause the rest I hear clearly. That being said their homage to the genius of Donald Fagen is spot on.

    • @MS-Patriot2

      Glad you said that, I agree entirely. I have listened to this album thousands of times and as a multi instrument musician I compare it to visiting a top quality restaurant. Everything beautifully balanced. This band is brilliant but that lack of the complex bass lines was distracting.

    I love these guys, they are super talented, and the lead vocalist is arguably better at delivering Donald's vocals than the great man himself. The only other SD/DF cover band I know of in this league is TN Keys/Scot Sherrif and Tim Akers, who have even had Larry Carlton jojn them on stage. Check out their videos too.

    From the FOOT of mount Malzoni (or whatever)? Stations prefer that their radio signals do their thing from major heights, not lows. So shouldn't our main man Donald have instead written "from the PEAK of mount Malzoni"? Just sayin'.

    • @lucabraga3471
      @lucabraga3471 2 года назад +1

      It's Mount Belzoni. Belzoni was a famous Italian explorer who was the first to enter the Chefren Pyramid, where he left his showy signature in capital letters (I saw it).
