The original naked lunch bohemian duo, punk jazz impurist noir explorers, Becker and Fagen, emerge from the long dark night like two Dickensian villains, to once again merge their fusion jazz smoke-filled basement speak-easy instrumentations with street sleaze dystopian lyrics and all around kick convention to the curb.  This style made Great albums like AJA and GAUCHO, produced from 70's madness with OCD perfection.  Their critical acclaim was everything they disdained and both regular bandmates and session players flew away from them like starlings in migration.  Without Citizen Dan we would most likely have never had Doobie Brothers Mark II, often dubbed Doobie Dan, and a whole lotta other improvisors both quailed and emulated at the feet of these Nephilim.
