The band "Steely Dan" fills in that void between popular music, R&B, blues and jazz. Their lyrics are unique, their tunes are interesting without being pedantic, and they rock. Additionally, they are famous (at times infamous), for their perfectionism in the studio. Watch this clip, you'll get a pretty clear picture of a pair of musicians searching for a sound they've preconceived in their heads on some level.
Every musician they work with is at the highest level of performance, and most are what you would call "studio musicians." A studio musician is a musician who can come into any musical situation, read what's written, solo if needed, and play consummately for the client with a short number of "takes." Generally studio musicians play the music perfectly the first time. If you are interested in a career in Music Production or Engineering, this clip is for you. Read about Steely Dan HERE.
