They managed - on their first two albums and, especially, on \u003cem\u003ePretzel Logic\u003c\/em\u003e - to combine breezy, ear-pleasing accessibility with an immensely sophisticated sensibility that upended most pop conventions. On \u003cem\u003ePretzel Logic\u003c\/em\u003e that combination is perfected, even as band masterminds Donald Fagen and Walter Becker moved deeper into jazz-influenced territory. \"Rikki Don't Lose That Number\", the album's lead off track, is a case in point. A sinuous slice of jazz-pop that merges piano balladry with a samba-esque groove, the song became a Top Ten hit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough Fagen and Becker write the material and handle vocals\/keyboards and bass, respectively, their recording process increasingly involved a rotating cast of session musicians, honing their studio-cobbled sound to a flawless perfection. The bar is raised in terms of musicianship here, as evidenced by the sassy cover of Duke Ellington's \"East St. Louis Toodle-Oo and the bop atheleticism of \"Parker's Band\", a tribute to Charlie Parker. Yet Steely Dan blend their colours ever more effectively here, writing shorter, sharper compositions packed with harmonies, instrumental interplay, witty wordplay, and satisfying hooks. \u003cem\u003ePretzel Logic\u003c\/em\u003e ranks alongside AJA as one of the band's finest achievements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
