year 77 review: When Fagen and Becker started working on the Aja album in late 1976 the rock world was still divided from the disco world in no uncertain terms. After Aja was released in October 1977 the lines were blurred forever. I believe as a consequence, Aja, is perhaps the single most important album of the last quarte century of the 20th Century. It is a brilliant amalgam of what the rock, pop and jazz worlds had created up 'til then.....and to top it off, what a nice bunch of guys! Fagen, Becker, Katz, Nichols, Rainey, Marotta, Purdie and the rest are modest, humorous and very talented. Bravo!
