When you listen to FM choose the extended version, there's a killer saxophone solo for the outro. Given how much you dig Steely Dan already, you won't be disappointed!
You chose well! One of my favorite tunes, on one of my all-time favorite albums! The instruments you heard were tenor & alto sax, clarinet, trumpet, flugelhorn, also keys and clavinet.. If you have time I recommend listening to the whole album in one sitting. Re the beat, from the Wiki page for the album: "Drummer Bernard Purdie plays his signature half-time shuffle beat, the Purdie Shuffle, on "Babylon Sisters."" Many of the best session players worked with Steely Dan over the years. You will love funky "FM."
You just wait til you hear Aja, and Black Cow, Kid Charlamagne, and a whole host of other recordings from them! Green Earring, Fez, My Old School, Peg, and the list goes on and on...
As you can see, I am a fan! So, you say this is "baby-making" music? lol! i lived in San Francisco for a few years and this is about a night on the town in SF, so for me it brings back memories! Plus, IMHO, it makes for a great name!
Ace, I can’t wait for you to discover the solo album by Donald Fagen of Steely Dan called the Night Fly. There is not one bad song on that entire album.
Challenge: find a Steely Dan song you don’t like. Ain’t gonna happen!!!! I’ve been trying for at least 40 years!!! Another fine reaction to my favorite music! ☮️❤️
I hated this album when it first came out (so different from Aja and I didn’t get it) I listened to it 20 times. The 21st time I realized it was the best album I had ever heard and it has been my favorite ever since.
This Rabbit Hole keeps getting deeper and deeper. Donald Fagen has several solo albums that are beyond excellent, '' THE NIGHTFLY" album. Songs like I.G.Y., Green Flower Street, Ruby Baby, Maxine, and New Frontier. Thank you for all your hard work and all the great music you've been bringing to us. NOTE: Play the long version of F.M. - IT'S KILLER GOOD!!!

The guitar outro is better. There's a hybrid which contains both.
Definitely check out FM (No Static), the extended version. It's well worth searching it out for the sax solo at the end. It's amazing!
So glad you are doing the Dan! Thanks!
The instrument you couldn't recognize is a muted trumpet. This song, in my opinion, is a fusion of Jazz and Rock. Great reaction. Take care.
That instrument you couldn't tell was a trumpet with a mute on its bell.
Fire in the Hole, Green Earrings, Don't Take Me Alive, Kid Charlemagne. Night by Night, Boston Rag to name a few.

Play this song driving to Palm Springs in the summer, so fun!
Keep goin bro... you're Rollin ...
That was f'ing awesome. Thanks Ace!
Their earlier song Haitian Divorce has a lot of reggae flavor.
That wawa sound is a muted trumpet. The mute gives it color.
