This week on the podcast, Hollywood producer and director
David Friendly joins me to talk about Steely Dan's classic 1977
album 'Aja'. We talk about David's discovery of the album during
his college years, how 'Aja' rewards repeat listens and how Walter
Becker and Donald Fagen worked with the best session musicians of
the time to create the perfect album recording.
Plus we discuss ageing musicians and their sometimes
disappointing live performances and how the advancement of
technology has changed the way we listen to and discover
music.
