How Steely Dan finally made their perfect album

Aja by Steely Dan is one of my favourite albums ever. Sure, it might not generally be considered the greatest of all time – but it is perfect in a way that no other album is.
Steely Dan made records like no other band. Donald Fagen and Walter Becker would write the songs, and then to record them they’d bring in some of the world’s greatest session players. Couple this with beautiful arrangements and outstanding recordings and the result is an album that allows us to hear incredible musicianship.
The perfection on this album is intentional. It’s not a gift or a coincidence that this record sounds so good. It’s because of thousands of hours of hard work.
