Walter Becker, one of my few real all time favourites, who founded together with Donald Fagen Steely Dan, passed away. I saw them plus their outstanding band last time 2015 at the Beacon Theatre in NYC, an event I will never forget. RIP, Walter Becker. Here is a link to a quite good obituary. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/03/arts/...pe=sectionfront

I've flown all over the world to see them in concert - my boat was called 'Aja' so I'm somewhat of a fan too. But I never saw them at the Beacon, which is their spiritual home. He was a Major Dude and his death is very sad.... RIP.

A sad day they have made some great music "Rikki don't lose that number" being one of my favourites RIP.
The music carries on forever.

Worth giving Horace Silver a decent listen or two when you have time... it's a great track. Also check out 'Long as you know, you're living yours' by Keith Jarrett - it inspired Gaucho. You might need to buy it as there are no recordings on the web - worth doing so. There's a version here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x15p2c5But it's not as good as the studio version which sounds almost identical to Gaucho - so much so that Jarrett sued Steely Dan, won and is given a co-writing credit. Becker said "we are the original robber barons"
