Steely Dan is on the short list of musical artists who have created a distinctive, textured approach that retains its freshness amid the constant shifts in popular music tastes and styles.  The video shows that even after  nearly three decades they are able to maintain a creative edge without  overhauling the "jazz-rock" blueprint best heard on the albums AJA, THE  ROYAL SCAM, and TWO AGAINST NATURE.  To my delight, the 5.1 digital mix  gives the rhythm section a funk-jazzy wallop ala late-period Miles Davis or  Marcus Miller.  Yet the subtleties of the lyrics, melodies, harmonies, and  clever arrangements aren't sacrificed by the punchier mix.
