The album that soundtracked my summer and is threatening to do the same to my fall is Steel Dan´s 1977 classic Aja. An amazing mix of jazz, funk, disco, latin, etc, featuring the talents of jazz giants Wayne Shorter, Bernard Purdie, Chuck Rainey...as the review on Amazon puts it "Aja is a modern pop classic and the coolest fusion record no one ever thought to lump in that category." What a cover as well...
