2006 Various – The Royal Dan – A Tribute

, , , , , , , ,

Various, Steely Dan Tribute 2006This album is an instrumental tribute to the great band Steely Dan, recorded in 2006. Guitarist Jeff Richman came up with this idea: get a house band together made up of A-list session guys and then invite an all-star cast of guitar gods to come in and take turns interpreting the songs of Steely Dan as jazz-rock fusion instrumentals.
