Four words: Chris Potter-Tenor sax 🔥
The sax solo is beyond parallel. Stunning.
This song has an urgent lightness to it. Driven by the snare.
95 percent jazz on this one. It is tasty
Legend has it that the sax solo is the first take. Chris Potter got the chords put in front of him and he went for it. Becker and Fagen both promptly cried "Bullshit- do another one!" as they couldn't believe the calibre of what they heard.
Even if it's not true, I like to think it is. The solo is incredible- like a short history of saxophone in one hit. Chris Potter goes through so many styles- Bird, Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Jan Garbarek, Michael Brecker... it's all in there.
When you listen to the last album Everything Must Go, the last title track is their big farewell. Awesome track with epic sax also!
For me a masterpiece. It has a gospel flair and a peculiar beginning!
“Everything Must Go” literally sounds like Last Call at the club. In fact, the opening always makes me think of the SNL band playing during the last 10 minutes of the show…
Holy shit, the sax.❤
As you're a drummer, you owe it to yourself to check out "Negative Girl" from this album. Colaiuta's playing is sublime.
Vinnie!
How did I miss his name on there? 😅
Try a cut or two from Steely Dan ~ Two Against Nature ~ Plush TV Jazz-Rock Party it is a live concert with a good selection of their songs.
He’s got the link to that already. We can only hope it shows up soon.
It's sad to see Walter's shadow like that. I remember when this album was released. It doesn't seem that long ago. I guess I'm a little maudlin because I lost my Dad recently. Keep the great tunes coming, Lee.
It’s neither Becker nor Fagen’s shadow. It’s the shadow of the photographer and his wife.
The album after this is Everything Must Go, and it does really feel like a series finale. The title song is at the end of the album, and it's literally about going out of business. They toured for more than a decade after it, but that's the last thing they'd ever record together.
Everything must go… a fitting end to their saga. As is everyone’s. All this stuff we worry about while we’re living ain’t gonna mean shit on the other side. It’s gonna be sold to the lowest bidder. And forgotten as time marches on. A bleak end. But that’s why you gotta shine while your here 🤩
Damn, I don't remember hearing that one before. That was fucking awesome! Love that slick bass line, too.
Thanks Lee. I look forward to Dan reactions.
I had to listen to it three times before it got me.
This is by far my favorite song on this album, and it's a wonderful stereo test song. That bass guitar digs down deep during the chorus.
The title track is a darkling mindbender in a syncopated 6/4...definitely worth a listen!
A bayou burner for sure. The 6 meter is so sweet.
Stellar and overlooked track from the Grammy winning album Two Against Nature. It's extremely complicated by highly melodic with awesome harmonies and wicked chord changes. Chris Patter's sax just sails through dizzying chord progressions, key changes, etc. One of Steely Dan's best.
Dan is the man the band the canal
Nice music to start the day. Studio looking good :)
Chris Potter turned his lungs inside-out to impress your ears. One of the major post-break songs.
If the guitarist is noodling, it's Walter. If the sax is noodling, it's Bumpus.
I believe this song incorporates every chord known to man - plus some only SD knows.
Almost gothic and negative girl from this album you may enjoy.
Maybe part of what felt different is the tempo, faster than most of their songs. Listening to this a couple of more times, you will appreciate the lyrics as well as the the great Becker guitar work. In years past, this song would have faded at the 5 -6 minute mark. They must have felt C Potters solo was so great, just let the entire solo play out.
Good & interesting 🤔❤️
If you like the Dan's funny, funky, racy lyrics, check out "Cousin Dupree" off this album. Reminds me of "Hey Nineteen".
Nice Jolly Roger!
What you need is a really good set of blue-tooth speakers surrounding a pool on a gradually cooling night in Riverside, California. A backyard that borders the remnants of endless orange groves so that the neighbors don't come into play. You need a couple of cocktails and perhaps your preferred hallucinogen, till you're just about oozing through the lounge chair, still drying from your last soothing dip in the pool.
Put this song on and crank it until God, Buddha and Mohammed manifest from behind the twisted juniper behind the pool. Compromise will be reached and the world will be saved...or not. Let's see.
Yeah…. What he said 👍👍
I’m leaving now. I’m on the way. 😜
Awesome comment.
Ooo! Morph the Cat!
I agree about the ending. They could have returned to the song itself but it's a small quibble in what is one of their very best later tracks. I saw Chris Potter with Pat Metheny a few years ago.
This album for me is hit or miss. This song in particular seems a bit like elevator muzak, as opposed to something interesting. COUSIN DUPREE, JACK OF SPEED, WHAT A SHAME ABOUT ME....those are really the only memorable songs on this album.
The title cut is a damn hot number!
@@PogueMahone1 The album just feels too generic for me.
Gaslighting Abbie is my favorite.
check out live Sony or pbs. two against nature concerts with most of the hits from the full career
