Years in the making.

This album followed a quiet spell of twenty years.

  Steely Dan had released Gaucho in 1980 and with it, created possibly one of the best musical creations to date. (My opinion) Musicianship, creativity and all-around cleverness seemed to have peaked.
  This style of music was not on my radar until about two years ago when my Piano Master, Mark Cramer, introduced me. I have never looked back.
  Two Against Nature is brilliant and lives up to the steady progress that the Dan had left off with. This is clearly a piece of genius.





  The lyrics might not make you giggle like it does me, if you do not have quite the dark sense of humor that I do, but the grooves should give you the urge to jive.
