Aja is Steely Dan at their most immaculate, and this remastered CD edition keeps every polished detail of the 1977 album in sharp focus.
By the time Walter Becker and Donald Fagen made their sixth album, Steely Dan had stopped being a touring band and turned into a studio laboratory. Working with producer Gary Katz, they brought in a parade of elite session players and kept recording until every part matched what they heard in their heads, folding jazz harmony into pop structures with uncanny ease.
The title track is the centrepiece, an eight-minute suite where Steve Gadd's drumming and a soaring Wayne Shorter saxophone solo push the band toward fusion. "Deacon Blues" is Fagen's wry, wistful anthem for a dreamer who wants to lose on his own terms, while "Peg" bounces along on a bright groove with a Michael McDonald backing vocal that has become instantly recognisable.
"Black Cow" opens proceedings with a slinky, horn-flecked strut, setting the tone for seven songs that reward close listening. The arrangements are dense yet never cluttered, and the lyrics are as sly and cynical as ever.
Decades later, Aja remains a benchmark for sound quality and a favourite of musicians and hi-fi obsessives alike. It's sophisticated, funny and quietly devastating, often all in the same verse.
