Aja plays Dan are an 8 piece band from Dublin Ireland , this version of Steely Dan’s ‘Jack Of Speed’ was recorded in isolation during the November 2020 lockdown here in Ireland .
When I saw SD back in 1996 in Charlotte NC USA they played this song. The crowd loved it. Then like usual Donald and Walter fashion it took 4 years to finally get it on an album. Thanks for great video!🇺🇸
Ah man... singer got the vocals quite right. None of those overtly elaborates R&B/Soul runs and stuff. And the music is spot on as well. So yeah, anyone doing a good Dan cover must be good.
Wonderful performance as usual. Pleasantly surprised since your 2008, 2022 videos. Great vocal harmonies from Mr. Moore & the "Out of this world Beauty", Ms. S. Stone.
what about this for an idea-release an album of The Nightfly songs,but live. Donald Fagen,s new album is superb with some nice twists on the original. Great performance by you guys.Thanks for the video.
Geeggeezz, just listened to Steely Dan in a 2000 concert and y'all did a better job w/ Jack of Speed. Brilliant. Love that smile too! Cheers from the Mississippi Delta.
Excellent rendition of one of Steely's best songs IMHO. "He's a one-way rider on the Shriek Express. And his new best friend is at the throttle, more or less." If you can find a better lyric to convey the inevitable mental terrors and misery of drug addiction, I'd like to hear it. Succinct, hip and poetic. Enjoyed it, a lot.
VERY VERY GOOD - fantastic song (my view) and beautifully executed !! “NEARLY DAN !!” Big cheers from the deep Southside ( Australia !!!!) BIG thanks for putting this one up 😎
Man, I'm fascinated with your covers! I would love it if I could collaborate with you guys some day, as a vocalist or as a guest guitar soloist (this is one of the rare ocassions in which a guitarist would understandably feel better prepared for asuming soloing roles more than the rhythm playing role, 'cause the Dan's complexity is abyssmal at all harmonic levels and chords are... well, you know it better than me LOL) Anyway... thank you very, very much for these renditions, I'm absolutely thrilled. Much love to you guys, from a Dan maniac from Chile's "Norte Chico"!
This is amazing. Absolutely love it!
Incredible blessing for this to end up in my recommended. At least one good thing came out of the quarantine.
