Album I'm listening to: The Nightfly

Walk Between Raindrops

NP: 'Big Noise, New York'. A forgotten classic. Anyway, I'd forgotten about it...

"I hear you're mad about Brubeck,
I like your eyes, I like him too". New Frontier

1 reason why 'I.G.Y.'s great: the feeling of naive optimism of 50's & ironic disappointment that promises weren't fulfilled.

Love the 4 Freshman/Hi-Lo's style harmonies on 'Maxine'. & sax solo by Late Great Michael Brecker.

Listening to another 1 been playing on my 'Earworm's Top Ten' 'The Nightfly'

To the uninitiated, there's no difference between Fagen & the Dan. But to us diehards, it's like the difference between steak & fish.

"Morph The Cat." A silky return to form? I'd say yes.

The Nightfly. The perfect after dark soundtrack but still good for a sunny Melbourne day. A superb album that I never tire of.

The Nightfly. Just a perfect album from start to finish.

NP Ruby Baby frm Nightfly. #DonaldFagen didn't write. But he makes it his own anyway.

"Would you pull me a Cuban Breeze, Gretchen?"
