O’s Notes: Those of us who are familiar with the music of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen remember the countless hits of Steeley Dan. Those memories have us anxiously anticipating Mark Masters tribute to the pair using a core quintet backed up by an ensemble to provide coloration. The results are a transformation of the contemporary classics to modern jazz. Well-done Mr. Masters.
