  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 77 JANUARY 28TH, 2019 Welcome to Copper #77! I hope you had a better view of the much-hyped lunar-eclipse than I did---the combination of clouds and sleep made it a non-event for me. Full moon or no, we're all Bozos on this bus---in the front seat is Larry Schenbeck, who brings us music to counterbalance the blah weather; Dan Schwartz brings us Burritos for lunch; Richard Murison brings us a non-Python Life of Brian; Jay Jay French chats with Giles Martin about the remastered White Album; Roy Hall tells us about an interesting day; Anne E. Johnson looks at lesser-known cuts from Steely Dan's long career; Christian James Hand deconstructs the timeless "Piano Man"; Woody Woodward is back with a piece on seminal blues guitarist Blind Blake; and I consider comfort music, and continue with a Vintage Whine look at Fairchild. Our reviewer friend Vade Forrester brings us his list of guidelines for reviewers. Industry News will return when there's something to write about other than Sears. Copper#77 wraps up with a look at the unthinkable from Charles Rodrigues, and an extraordinary Parting Shot taken in London by new contributor Rich Isaacs. Enjoy, and we’ll see you soon! Cheers, Leebs. Stay Warm TOO MUCH TCHAIKOVSKY Written by Lawrence Schenbeck It’s cold, it’s gray, it’s wet. Time for comfort food: Dvořák and German lieder and tuneful chamber music. No atonal scratching and heaving for a while! No earnest searches after our deepest, darkest emotions. What we need—musically, mind you—is something akin to a Canadian sitcom.

    Neg(oti)ating Fusion: Steely Dan’s Generic Irony by Ethan Krajewski A thesis presented for the B.A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2018 © 2018 Ethan Patrick Krajewski To my parents for music and language Acknowledgements My biggest thanks go to my advisor, Professor Julian Levinson, as a teacher, mentor, and friend, for helping me think, talk, write, and (most importantly, I think) laugh about seventies rock music. You’ve helped make this project fun in all of its rigor and relaxed despite all of the stress that it’s caused. I’d also like to thank Professor Gillian White for leading our cohort toward discipline, and for keeping us all grounded. Also for her spirited conversations and anecdotes, which proved invaluable in the early stages of my thinking. I wouldn’t be here writing this if it weren’t for Professor Supriya Nair, who pushed me to apply for the program and helped me develop the intellectual curiosity that led to this project. The same goes for Gina Brandolino, who I count among my most important teachers and role models. To the cohort: thank you for all of your help over the course of the year. You’re all so smart, and so kind, and I wish you all nothing but the best. To Ashley: if you aren’t the best non-professional line editor at large in the world, then you’re at least second or third. I mean it sincerely when I say that this project would be infinitely worse without your guidance.

  • Aja 8.5X11 One Sheet 2017
    ! ! Bentley Davis ! 513-827-1832 ● [email protected] ● ColloquyMusic.net Quality! Conversations in Music ! ! ! A TRIBUTE ! TO THE MUSIC OF ! ! STEELY DAN ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Photo Credit: Stuart Forsythe Aja, A Tribute to the Music of Steely Dan burst on the Southwest Ohio scene in 2005 by organizing and hosting an all Steely Dan festival in Cincinnati OH featuring regional acts and a headlining set by the new band Aja with special guest Steely Dan drummer Bernard Purdie. On the heels of that performance, Aja has played many shows and developed a devoted following of Dan fans that love to dance the night away to "Reelin' in the Years" and "My Old School" as much as they love to sit wide eyed and smiling while listening to faithful recreations of "Caves of Altamira" and "Deacon Blues". The band has been consistently selling out Cincinnati’s 20th Century Theater, their musical home base, for the past 5 years. The magic of a group like Aja is that they combine an overwhelming collection of musical talent and skill with a tremendous reverence for the material of Steely Dan. This results in an attention to detail regarding the complex and nuanced recordings of the classic Steely Dan arrangements complemented by plenty of freedom to stretch out and bring a personal touch to the material in a live setting. And the fans LOVE it! The 10-piece Cincinnati/Dayton Ohio based group is comprised of professional musicians from all sides. Laying down the foundation, Adam Wheeler (Drums/vocals) and Bill Jackson (Bass) form a tight and groovy rhythm section that handles the full spectrum of Steely beats from "Bodhisattva" to "Babylon Sisters" all with swing and precision.

    »NOTHIN' HERE BUT HISTORY«: GESCHICHTLICHKEIT ALS ÄSTHETISCHE KATEGORIE BEI STEELY DAN Friedrich Geiger Die US-amerikanische Band Steely Dan wurde 1972 von dem Songwriter-Duo Walter Becker und Donald Fagen gegründet. In wechselnden Besetzungen, verstärkt durch eine eindrucksvolle Reihe exquisiter Studiogäste, legten sie bislang neun Originalalben vor. Hinzu kommen mittlerweile sechs Soloalben, zuletzt erschien im Oktober 2012 Sunken Condos von Donald Fagen. Somit steht Steely Dan mittlerweile für vierzig Jahre Musikgeschichte: Steely Dan Donald Fagen solo Walter Becker solo 1972 Can't Buy A Thrill 1973 Countdown To Ecstasy 1974 Pretzel Logic 1975 Katy Lied 1976 The Royal Scam 1977 Aja 1980 Gaucho 1982 The Nightfly 1993 Kamakiriad 1994 11 Tracks Of Whack 2000 Two Against Nature 2003 Everything Must Go 2006 Morph The Cat 2008 Circus Money 2012 Sunken Condos Tabelle 1: Übersicht 1972 bis 2012 101 FRIEDRICH GEIGER Wenn man über Steely Dan spricht, stellt sich die Frage, ob man die Einzel- arbeiten der Duopartner mit einbegreift oder nicht. Einerseits wurden diese Songs nicht im Duo, sondern alleine geschrieben, und sie unterscheiden sich im Stil erkennbar nicht nur voneinander, sondern auch von dem gemeinsa- men Material. Auf der anderen Seite sind die Differenzen nicht so groß, dass die spezifische Ästhetik, die Becker und Fagen als Steely Dan entwickelten, nicht auch in den Soloprojekten sofort identifizierbar wäre. Vor allem aber gab es nicht nur zahlreiche Überschneidungen beim Personal, das auf den Band- und Soloalben musizierte, sondern Becker und Fagen selbst wirkten auch bei den Projekten des jeweils anderen als Musiker oder gar Produzent mit. Daher ist es ratsam, die Soloalben nicht auszuklammern, wenn es um das künstlerische Konzept von Steely Dan gehen soll.

  • Aja”—Steely Dan (1977) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay By: Brian Sweet (Guest Post)*
    “Aja”—Steely Dan (1977) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by: Brian Sweet (guest post)* Original album Original label Becker and Fagen Steely Dan is the creation of two musicians—Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. “Aja,” Steely Dan’s sixth album in five years, was released in September 1977. It was the culmination of more than a year’s extremely intense work in six different studios in Los Angeles and New York. The numbers and cast of characters involved was astounding: 30 different musicians and singers on only seven songs and less than 40 minutes of music. The list of session musicians was a veritable “Who’s Who” of top Los Angeles players at that time: drummers Bernard Purdie, Rick Marotta and Steve Gadd; guitarists Larry Carlton, Dean Parks, and Jay Graydon; bassist Chuck Rainey and keyboard players Paul Griffin, Don Grolnick and Victor Feldman. The latter--British born jazzer Victor Feldman--was a hero of Becker and Fagen's, especially for his work on Miles Davis’s “Seven Steps to Heaven” album from 1963 and indeed Feldman played on every song on “Aja.” Time and budget constraints were of no consequence whatsoever; Becker and Fagen just kept working, indulged by the record company, ABC, their producer, Gary Katz, and engineer Roger Nichols. As Fagen had once said, “We want every bar of the thing to be good.” All the basic tracks for “Aja” were recorded in Los Angeles, except “Peg” which was the last song to be recorded and was cut at A&R Studios in New York, where they recorded their previous album, “The Royal Scam,” and developed a rapport with engineer Elliot Scheiner.
