Bands like Steely Dan... When I hear "Hey 19" I picture some dude in a denim leisure suit snorting coke and lounging in a beanbag chair.

Yeah, I'll be needing that photo back Kono...

Steely Dan? Well, those guys are absolute jazz musicians.

Hmmm... I'd say they were hapa-jazz composers who "borrowed" original ideas guiltlessly from actual jazz musicians, then hired seasoned session cats to actually execute the plagiarjazzm.

(Listen to 1963's modal masterpiece Song For My Father by Horace Silver to see what I'm on about.)

That being said I can actually appreciate Felder's pop sensibilities. Aja for example is some rather fine fusion-peppered pop.
