Many of the musicians who joined the group on studio dates as session players were hand-picked from both the East and West coast jazz scenes. They include names like Wayne Shorter, Joe Sample, Don Grolnick, Lee Ritenour, Steve Khan, Michael and Randy Brecker and Steve Gadd - to name just a few! With such unique and individual voices all in one recording studio, it's no wonder why a jazz aesthetic runs so deep in Steely Dan's tunes - songs that have won over fans from across the globe.
