{"product_id":"9781441181329","title":"Steely Dan's Aja","description":"Aja was the album that made Steely Dan a commercial force on the order of contemporaries like Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles and Chicago. A double-platinum, Grammy-winning bestseller, it lingered on the Billboard charts for more than a year and spawned three hit singles. Odd, then, that its creators saw it as an \"ambitious, extended\" work, the apotheosis of their anti-rock, anti-band, anti-glamour aesthetic. Populated by thirty-fi ve mostly jazz session players, Aja served up prewar song forms, mixed meters and extended solos to a generation whose idea of pop daring was Paul letting Linda sing lead once in a while. And, impossibly, it sold. Including an in-depth interview with Donald Fagen, this book paints a detailed picture of the making of a masterpiece.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123855147248,"sku":"9781441181329","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781441181329_p0.jpg?v=1763794057","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781441181329","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
