Episode Details

Steve Gadd’s legendary drum solo on Steely Dan’s “Aja” — recorded in just two takes and improvised on the spot — just made Far Out Magazine’s list of greatest drum solos ever. The drummer himself reportedly forgot he played on it, only realizing months later when producer Gary Katz revealed it was him — sparking pure disbelief and joy. A masterclass in improvisational genius, this iconic track proves some musical moments are so brilliant, even the artist can’t believe they created them.
