Steely Dan

By February 2000, Steely Dan was in a rejuvenated phase of their career, having released their first studio album in 20 years, *Two Against Nature*, in 2000, just months before the live recording at Sony Music Studios. This album marked a significant comeback, earning them a Grammy for Album of the Year and showcasing a blend of sophisticated jazz-rock that defined their signature sound. The live recording features several tracks from both their classic period and *Two Against Nature*, highlighting the band's enduring appeal and their ability to bridge past hits with newer material. Notably, the performance is also a tribute to members Cornelius Bumpus and Ricky Lawson, who were integral to their live sound. This moment in their career illustrates a re-establishment of their artistry and adaptability, reinforcing why Steely Dan continues to captivate audiences decades after their inception.
