Sinopse

One of the biggest names in the musical landscape of the 1970s, Steely Dan released a string of albums that pushed the boundaries of what was possible in a recording studio. With albums like The Royal Scam and Aja, the songs of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen drew from their love of jazz, their ability to write memorable pop hooks and their penchant for subversive humour, to produce a catalogue of unparalleled brilliance. With worldwide album sales in excess of 40 million copies, the durability of their songs has made Becker and Fagen one of the most celebrated writing partnerships in popular music. With Walter Becker’s untimely death in 2017, Donald Fagen continues to keep the band’s flame burning on stages around the world.
 
   Steely Dan - on track gives an overview of the band's career while investigating every track recorded across the nine Steely Dan studio albums. It also covers Becker and Fagen’s six solo records plus the official live albums and joint collaborations. The book also delves into duo’s early  -  largely unreleased - recordings and other tracks recorded under the Steely Dan name, making this a comprehensive guide for both fans of the band’s work or newcomers to the fascinating world of this unique partnership.
 
 
 
A music fan for as long as he can remember, Jez Rowden worked in record shops for many years, absorbing music of all kinds. He enjoys many genres and has been involved in writing album and concert reviews, mostly within the progressive rock field, for nearly fifteen years. He also acted as editor for the Dutch Progressive Rock Pages website and, more latterly, The Progressive Aspect which he helped found in 2013. The music of Steely Dan fascinated him from first hearing, the appeal growing stronger as the years go by.  An avid concert goer, he lives in Swansea, UK.

    “Lance Henriksen privately vowed to quit acting if his role in this film didn’t succeed, as it followed years of minor roles. This turned out to be one of his most successful performances.” 
      
    “In both the standard and special edition versions, the fifteen-minute countdown at the film's climax is exactly fifteen minutes long.” 
      
    “A deleted scene shows Ripley's daughter's portrait, which features Elizabeth Inglis, Sigourney Weaver's real-life mother. This scene was restored in the director's cut.” 
      
    “Al Matthews, who plays the Marine sergeant, was the first black Marine to be promoted to sergeant in the field during his service in Vietnam.”

    The piano is a musical instrument that has been around for centuries. It has been the instrument favored by many of the greatest composers who ever lived. They used the piano to create some of the most impressive, expressive, and emotionally-complex pieces of music that are still as beloved by a modern audience as they were when they were first composed. Names like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Frédéric Chopin, Joseph Haydn, Johannes Brahms, Richard Wagner, and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky are indelibly etched into the fabric of history, celebrated for the mastery of their craft and ability to conjure music from the depths of their souls like magic. Many people hope to follow in their footsteps by taking up the piano themselves. As a budding pianist, you are in great company.  
    Beginning your piano-playing journey is as simple as deciding you want to start tickling the ivories. Anyone can sit down behind the keyboard and start hitting notes. The difficulty comes when you actually want to translate what you see on sheet music or hear within your mind into actual music. Some basic skills, techniques, and knowledge can give you a huge boost in the early stages of your career as a pianist. Once you have committed to learning how to play the piano, you will need to learn how to read sheet music, gain a foundation in music theory, and become familiar with the hand T 2 positions and finger exercises necessary to smoothly transition from neophyte to expert.

    Showa Era - Empire War and the...

    The Showa Era began on December 25, 1926, with the ascension of Emperor Hirohito following the death of his father, Emperor Taisho. This period marked a critical turning point in Japan’s history, as the nation transitioned from the political turbulence of the Taisho democracy to a time of increasing militarism and nationalist sentiment. Although the early years of the Showa Era were characterized by economic struggles and political instability, they also set the stage for Japan’s dramatic expansion and eventual involvement in global conflict. 
    Emperor Hirohito’s rise to the throne was met with both hope and uncertainty. Many saw him as a symbol of continuity and strength, while others were concerned about the growing influence of the military in governmental affairs. Unlike his father, whose reign was defined by a parliamentary democracy, Hirohito’s early years as emperor witnessed the gradual erosion of democratic institutions. The shift toward a more authoritarian government was driven by widespread dissatisfaction with the parliamentary system and the belief that Japan needed strong leadership to navigate domestic and international challenges. 
    One of the most pressing issues Japan faced at the beginning of the Showa Era was economic instability. The global economy had already begun to weaken, and in 1929, the Wall Street Crash sent shockwaves through Japan’s financial system. The economic downturn led to mass unemployment, factory closures, and widespread poverty, exacerbating social tensions. Farmers, who made up a significant portion of Japan’s population, suffered greatly as the price of rice plummeted, leading to rural hardships that fueled growing resentment toward the government. In response, nationalist and ultraconservative factions gained popularity, advocating for territorial expansion as a means to secure resources and economic stability.
