For our inaugural session in July, we couldn’t be more thrilled to present "Aja" by Steely Dan. This classic album is a masterpiece that has stood the test of time, offering a perfect blend of jazz, rock, and R&B. Released in 1977, "Aja" quickly became Steely Dan’s best-selling album, earning critical acclaim and cementing the band’s place in music history.

Steely Dan, formed by the dynamic duo of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, is known for their meticulous production and complex, jazz-influenced arrangements. "Aja" is often hailed as their magnum opus, featuring standout tracks like "Deacon Blues," "Peg," and the title track "Aja."

Each song on the album showcases the band’s signature style, characterized by sophisticated musicianship and intricate lyrics that delve into themes of love, loss, and existential contemplation.

Don’t miss out on this exclusive event – mark your calendars for the first Saturday of the month and become part of the AAA musical journey.
