Fagen carries on the Steely Dan legacy flawlessly
by: daisey0522 (559Feedback is 500 to 999) Review created: 09/06/06 (updated: 05/08/07)
1 out of 1 people found the following review helpful.

In retrospect, this is by far the best of Fagen's solo efforts; a true masterpiece from start to finish.
Fagen lays down a smooth, heavily jazz laced CD with the focus being on the piano and vocals. My favorite track by far is the title track, but I.G.Y., New Frontier, and Walk Between the Raindrops (a throwback to the 50's big band sound) all have that special something that can only be described as Steely Dan.
The entire CD leaves nothing to be wanted; except MORE of the same.
It is a crime that Fagen's solo work has not gotten the critical acclaim as his other little project (you know, a little band called Steely Dan) because this album is stellar.
An instant classic from the day it was released, and now a true classic almost 20 years later.

Donald Fagen's 'The Nightfly'
by: pawnmartjewelry (5991Feedback is 5,000 to 9,999) Review created: 07/28/08

This 1981 release is the first solo album from Fagen, singer/keyboardist and one of the two eccentric pillars of Steely Dan. Beautifully melodic and dangerously precise, this collection of songs brings together some of the very best musicians of the 20th century, including the late, great Michael Brecker on sax' and Jeff Porcaro on drums. Dreamy, lyrical storylines relive some of Fagen's youthful fantasies in 1950s-60s America, and the arrangements are fantastically coordinated to accomodate the attendant virtuosity without sounding pretentious. Great grooves, killer vocal harmonies, and expressive melodies---long live The Nightfly!
