Dingus Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Great playing all round - looks like Keith Carlock on drums . Tim LeFebre must be seven foot tall ! I'm glad I don't have to feed him . Not mad about the song but it might grow on me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 Strings Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Absolutely top stuff. Wonder if he's coming to the UK. Would love to see him. Thanks, lowdown, for the clip Edited January 25, 2013 by 4 Strings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnDeereJack Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Steely Dan are one of my favourite bands and I was lucky enough to get a ticket to the last gig in Edinburgh Playhouse a few years back. Was outstanding, best £60 I've spent! Love Donald Fagen's writing. Great track. cheers Lowdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatboter Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 You start to wonder what's the difference between Fagen and Steely Dan records... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottomE Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 That bass looks tiny up against that guy. Smooth grooving. (Little bit bored of the constant guitar breaks going through the song) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveK Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I know nothing of Tim Lefebvre other than this clip - his playing technique looks like someone who's been playing for about 2 weeks: Gripping the neck like a cricket bat, thumb over the top... but hey, he's playing with Donald Fagen, and I'm not... he must be doing something right Y'know, I love Donald Fagen and Steely Dan, even with songs that I may not like as much as others, there is always something in them to admire and appreciate... for one thing, they invariably groove!

Martin E Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I've seen Steely Dan twice, undoubtedly my favorite band of all time and a huge fan of everything Fagan has done since. Unfortunately much as it I hate to admit it this latest album has not grown on me as much as the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassicinstinct Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Sorry to see that "Ready "Freddie Washington is conspicuous by his absence. I hope he was "too busy" to do the session. How cool would THAT be??!! I love the new album - grooves like a serpent from start to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of cool to see Fagan give the gig to someone that's less reputable in some ways, he could literally have picked anyone from Will Lee, Freddie Washington etc. but this guy is younger and up and coming, he's a nice player. I kind of like the tune now after a few listens, but I agree with Wombat on the difference between SD and Fagan's own stuff being basically non-existent. Who knows, maybe Walter Becker can throw up the walls against his creativity from time to time, it's probably nice to have the ability to command your own band completely independently.

visog Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Saw Wayne Krantz with Steely Dan years ago at Wembley Arena with Tom Barney on bass. The group took a little while to get going but then settled into an awesome groove for the rest of the set. WK was a little muzzled though. I saw his trio with Tim [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Lefebvre and Keith Carlock on drums in the Band on the Wall in Manchester - 15 people in the audience and boy did they stretch out! WK really working that textual way playing with his effects. Spoke to Tim after who showed real disdain for the chops-orientated jazz of the time - singling out Marcus for playing the same old stuff. He had a gorgeous sunburst P which he played almost all above the 12th fret but mostly on the 'E' and 'A' strings to get a real dubby sound.[/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obviously what he gets paid for nowadays to trawl out the same old tired routine but man, it puts me completely to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soul deluxe Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) to say Marcus Miller plays the same old boring stuff is a little short sighted imo.. he does some amazing work with various artists... if you dont like his solo work thats cool, but to say hes playing the same old routine is wrong.. i love Tims playing, im sure that Tim would have alot more respect for Marcus Miller than comes across in your post Visog..
