Music reviews of The Nightfly
Music Review: Classy Jazzamataz
Rating: 5 Stars
This is classy jazzy pop/rock with Fagen's signature flair. It is just as good as anything that Steely Dan ever put out. As a matter of fact, it is probably even catchier than the Dan's material. It leans more into pop territory than into rock as compared to Steely Dan. If you are familiar with them, you will find this is a softer continuation of their sound.
This is supposedly a concept album. I didn't follow that. I just heard the music and fell in love with this album. Donald Fagen is a brilliant songwriter/piano player and vocalist. He is original and can hold his own with the best of the industry. There isn't a weak track in the bunch, and the only weakness is how short the album is by today's standards, coming in at only 8 songs. This is for adult, contemporary fans and fans of intelligent music in general.
All of the songs are highlights.

Artist: FAGEN,DONALD
Title: NIGHTFLY
Street Release Date: 07/07/1987
Genre: ROCK/POP
Donald Fagen's 1982 solo debut extends the sleek, smart pop craft of his work with Steely Dan into the realm of the concept album, taking the Dan's penchant for intricate plotting, evocative narrative voices, and allusive imagery to the logical next step. Fagen's connective thread is futurist nostalgia for the "New Frontier" as anticipated from the prosperous vantage point of late-'50s America. He romanticizes a brave new world of technology in the sultry diorama of "I.G.Y.," celebrating the coming glories of the Atomic Age. He then filters that view through his own suburban adolescence--a would-be seduction in a fallout shelter, the siren song of a graveyard-shift jazz DJ, a not-quite-hard-boiled noir adventure ("The Goodbye Look") that borrows its title from an early '60s Ross MacDonald mystery. Song for song, the set's a stunner and stands apart from Steely Dan thanks to a unique, poignant romanticism embodied in Fagen's yearning "Maxine" and a creamy update of Dion & the Belmonts' "Ruby Baby." --Sam Sutherland
