American singer-songwriter and keyboardist, co-founder of Steely Dan; noted for sophisticated studio productions and jazz-influenced pop.

Born January 10, 1948. Co-founder of Steely Dan with Walter Becker. Known for meticulous studio production, long intervals between solo albums, and blending jazz, pop and soul.

DeBaser reviews praise Donald Fagen's meticulous production, jazz-pop fusion and The Nightfly as a high point. Reviewers note long gaps between solo albums and consistently high-level session players. Morph the Cat divides opinion; Kamakiriad is seen as underrated by some. Sunken Condos is viewed as a competent continuation of his style.

For:Fans of Steely Dan and jazz-pop; readers interested in studio craft and mature songwriting.

 That bony and angular DJ featured on the album cover, photographed at 4:10am in a cramped room of an American radio station, if he didn't save my life, undoubtedly made it better.

 A little challenge, as we said, because finding unsullied adjectives and original readings of these pieces is quite difficult.
