Donald Fagen Vinyl Records
As one of the co-leaders of Steely Dan, Donald Fagen developed a smooth, sophisticated blend of jazz, R&B, pop and rock, a fusion that relied on lyrical wit and technical acumen. Fagen pursued this sound on The Nightfly, the 1982 solo debut he released in the wake of his split from Walter Becker, his musical partner since college. Fagen and Becker wound up reuniting in the 1990s, with Becker producing Fagen's second album, 1993's Kamakiriad and Fagen serving in a similar role for Becker's 1994 album 11 Tracks of Whack.
