Steely Dan

By the time Steely Dan took the stage at Sony Music Studios for this live performance of 'Josie' in late 1999, they were enjoying a remarkable resurgence in their career. Their previous studio album, 'Two Against Nature', had been released in 2000, marking their return after a long hiatus and showcasing the duo's signature blend of rock, jazz, and pop. Interestingly, this album earned them a Grammy for Album of the Year, affirming their legacy as musical innovators. Performing 'Josie', a classic from their 1978 album 'Aja', highlights the timelessness of their sound. The live setting in this recording captures the intricate musicianship and laid-back vibe that Steely Dan is known for, which must have felt like a nostalgic journey for fans who missed their distinct style during the years they were away.
