Pip's Invitation

This is probably Steely Dan's jazziest composition, and is notable for the incredible performance on drums by Steve Gadd. Everything about it hits the pleasure zone for me. It's one of the best examples of how to make jazz "accessible."
Becker and Fagen went through multiple takes with multiple drummers before Gadd gave them what they were looking for. Fun/weird fact: I was an acquaintance of the guy who procured and laid out the lines of coke that Gadd did before the successful take. (There was a LOT of coke at the Aja sessions, which were Brian Wilson-esque in their excessiveness.)
