--> A (very, very) extended interview with Walter Becker of Steely Dan--on the occasion of both his awesome new solo disc, Circus Money, and this summer's extensive Dan tour--via Time Out New York, which deserves special props for agreeing to print such a lengthy conversation, pretty much in its entirety. Yes, we talked about "Yacht Rock" (!), and I received some really valuable insight into Becker's feelings on the brilliant dissonance between the Dan's smooth sound and cutting lyrical content. Had the pleasure of speaking with Donald Fagen a few years back, but he was nowhere near as candid.
-->An hour-long, annotated MP3 mixtape, via the awesome folks over at Destination Out, surveying the career of expatriate piano veteran Bobby Few, one of my all time favorite jazz musicians.
I hope you dig!
