The Nightfly is the debut solo studio album by American singer-songwriter Donald Fagen. Fagen was previously best known for his work in the group Steely Dan, with whom he enjoyed a successful career in the 1970s. The band separated in 1981, leading Fagen to pursue a solo career. Although The Nightfly includes a number of production staff and musicians who had played on Steely Dan records, it was Fagen’s first release without longtime collaborator Walter Becker.

Donald Fagen was one of the two masterminds behind Steely Dan, the seminal jazz-pop band of the ’70s. Fagen’s solo work has been a continuation of the band’s work of the early ’80s — carefully constructed and arranged, intricately detailed pop songs that are more substantial than their stylish surface may indicate. His 1982 solo debut, “The Nightfly”, was the best album he had made in years; it covered the same ground as the last two Steely Dan albums, yet surpassed it in terms of ambition and achievement. Originally produced by Steely Dan’s co-founding member, Walter Becker, Donald Fagen’s “Kamakiriad” is a brilliantly executed futuristic retro concept album which spins a unique Sci-Fi outlook on the world. The eight-song cycle re-creates a retro-futuristic world in which Fagen’s ’50s nostalgia meets high-tech millennialism. If you loved the studio-intensive blues-rock, tantalizing, crisp white funk grooves that made Steely Dan, and Fagen’s first solo album so compelling, “Kamakiriad” will keep your pulse racing.

Donald Fagen, the GRAMMY Award-winning voice of Steely Dan, continues to leave a lasting impression on music. Morph The Cat, his third solo effort, is another contemporary classic highlighting his adventurous musical depth, sophisticated lyrical content and immaculate arrangements. The album is the completion of a trilogy that began over twenty years ago with The Nightfly and followed with Kamakiriad. Each song depicts vivid imagery of illusion, decay and loss in a post 9/11 realm, without ever sounding dreary. With his signature blend of jazz, soul and rock, Morph The Cat is a stellar listen from start to finish!
