2019.05.13 Arturo O’Farrill on Steely Dan 2 of 3

Arturo O’Farrill, as a bandleader and as a citizen of the world, is an informed and thoughtful man; it shines through in everything he does. When host Mitch Goldman asked him for a topic for Deep Focus, his response consisted of two equally surprising options: either Steely Dan or Olivier Messiaen. Well, Messiaen is going to have to wait; Steely Dan won the day.  

What's that you say? You're not a Steely Dan fan?!  Probably because you haven't heard a proper Jazz man's take on them at the top of their game.
