I might be one of the few in the general population born after this album was released (1974 vs 1977) who liked the Horace Silver tune "Song for my Father" before liking this Steely Dan track - in fact it was in Spring Quarter of 1996, my sophomore year in college, when Marc Seales added the Horace Silver track to our 'listening example' mix we had to listen to in the library. Of course nowadays, everything is online I'm sure, but in March of 1996 the UW hadn't gotten there yet. I found myself checking out the enormous headphones and requesting the tape to listen to while studying all my other classes. Everything from Jelly Roll Morton, Bix Beiderbecke, Louis Armstrong, Duke E, Fats Waller, etc., etc., etc. wow...now I'm really wanting to hear some (more) jazz on RP. I wonder if "Song for my Father" is on RP....I'm gonna check that out.
I'd rate the Horace Silver track a 10 and this SD track an 8.
Long Live RP!
Come on, HS has better tunes which would require an additional scope of qualification...
