「ドナルド・フェイゲン・ナイト」にお越し頂いた大勢の皆様、ありがとうございました!選曲をお願いしたYugeの弓削匠君による入魂のトラックリストには今回も感動してしまいました(末尾参照)。Steely Danの各アルバムや、最新作を含むソロ・アルバム、そして楽曲提供やミュージシャンとしての参加曲までばっちり網羅した5時間以上に及ぶ選曲は本当に素晴らしかったです。70年代から現在に至るまでのドナルド・フェイゲンの一貫性と音質の良さにも驚きました。そして、今まで聴いたことのないカヴァー曲の数々。Woody Herman Bandによるビッグバンド・アレンジの “Kid Charlemagne” とか最高でした。逆に、「これってドナルド・フェイゲンがオリジナルじゃなかったんだ!」という驚きがThe Driftersの “Ruby Baby” 。名盤『The Nightfly』に収録の曲で、Donald Fagenのヴァージョンがあまりに洗練されたアーバン・サウンドなので今まで彼のオリジナルだと思い込んでいた曲。50年代のR&Bのカヴァーだったんですね。匠君、勉強になりました。
