Rosie Vela – Zazu | The Steely Dan Connection
In this episode I explore Zazu, the 1986 debut (and still the only) album by American model, singer, and songwriter Rosie Vela.The album was produced by Gary Katz, best known for his work with Steely Dan. Donald Fagen also appears on keyboards and Walter Becker on guitar across several tracks. Legendary session musician Tony Levin also contributes, playing Chapman Stick on the songs Tonto and the title track Zazu. Critically, the album was well received but despite the positive reviews, it struggled commercially in the United States. In the UK the album reached No. 20 on the UK Albums Chart, while Magic Smile also entered the UK Top 30. After being out of print on CD for nearly two decades, the album finally returned in 2011 thanks to a reissue from Cherry Red.
I do hope you enjoy this episode.
