When I first heard this gem, it seemed like the template for so many 'Aja' tracks. Like Fagen, Becker, Chuck Rainey and Steve Gadd were just messing around with chords and riffs, and from this seed sprouted 'Aja', 'Josie', 'Home at Last', etc. Glorious.

It's exactly this. The proto Aja.

No Fagen or Becker on this. Gadd, Rainey, Carlton, Michael Martian on piano, Victor Feldman, Rhodes.

Thank you for your great work. I've had a copy of the mix that was loaded on the Tube several years ago - it had some pretty bad wow and flutter and was a bit "cloudy" sounding. This is a much cleaner version! Very listenable. Perhaps the best we could ask for :)

Sounds like Don and early influence to his 'Sunken Condos' stuff. Always a great groove. My 'if you were stranded on a desert island and could only hear one group' group.

Gadd was only in the studio for a day? Doesn't remember Aja because he was rather messed up from the night before? Still, he reads and interprets music in one or two takes like this. Amazing guy

Of all these studio drummers, my absolute favorite is Jeff Porcaro but it is undeniable that Steve Gadd's sight readings were absolute second to none perhaps only equaled or surpassed by Vinnie Colaiuta.
