Michael Brecker and Steely Dan

[Brian]

Has Michael Brecker ever recorded a sax solo with Steely Dan and if so on
what song and recording?

[DSTOL]

I am familiar with two solos he recorded on Donald Fagen's post-Steely Dan
album, "Nightfly". He is featured on "Ruby Baby" and "Maxine", the latter solo
being one of his shortest and best ever (in my opinion).

AFAIK, no, unless it's on one of the two recent albums.

Numerous songs on "Gaucho."

Really? My memory must be going. On which songs does he play a solo?

Next time I have it out I'll check. Sorry, but I didn't memorize
that LP.

Mike Brecker plays on the Gaucho album - two tunes: Glamour Profession
and Time Out of Mind. Neither tune has a saxophone solo.

The prominent saxophone solo on that album would be on the tune
Gaucho, played by Tom Scott a la Jan Garbarek.
