Product Description:

This episode of the CLASSIC ALBUMS series offers a vivid portrait of the making of the canonical 1970s record AJA by Steely Dan. Band members Walter Becker and Donald Fagen recall the history of an album that was a year in the making, but rewarded with a Grammy Award and three hit singles. British songwriter Ian Dury, the Doobie Brothers' Michael McDonald, and music producer Gary Katz all add their fascinating anecdotes to this highly involving rockumentary.

Description by Image Entertainment:

A vivid portrait of a '70s record that is still as fresh and memorable today as when it was released more than two decades ago. Pioneering pop/jazz band Steely Dan, formed by Donald Fagen and Walter Becker in the early seventies, had already secured five Top 40 albums before the release of "Aja" in 1977. "Aja," however, was to prove to be the biggest selling album of Steely Dan's illustrious career, reaching Number 3 on the Billboard chart and spending a year in the Top 40. Becker and Fagen, renowned for their relentless perfectionism in the recording studio, recall the history of an album that was a year in the making. Steely Dan's "Aja" has proven to be one of the most outstanding jazz-rock albums in the history of popular music, and now its story is told in this fascinating documentary.
