Denny Dias

Thanks for the heads up.  I’m watching it now. Very cool.  

@yoyoyaya Thank you so much for drawing attention to this interview.  As a guitarist and record maker myself (as well as a SD fan), I found it fascinating in ways that most listeners might not.  I learned more about Steely Dan than I'd ever learned before, too.  I'd never heard about Walter Becker kicking over Denny's Kustom amp during a performance--that must have been hysterical (and probably well-deserved--if you've ever played guitar through an old Kustom amp;  I'm not surprised Kustom had to give them away to bands).

I agree with @frogman that there's nothing wrong with Denny.  He just strikes me as a mellow, low-key kind of guy, unlike many more flamboyant musicians. He succinctly nailed his contribution as playing jazz guitar in a rock context.

@drmuso - +1 on everything you say above. I also found his insights about Walter Becker comping his (Becker's) solos fascinating.
