Steely Dan es un grupo americano de jazz fusion cuyo núcleo central lo componen los músicos y compositores Walter Becker y Donald Fagen. El apogeo de popularidad del grupo fue en los años 70, cuando lanzó seis álbumes que mezclaban elementos de jazz, rock, funk, rythm and blues (R&B) y pop. Su música se caracteriza por la influencia de complejas estructuras de jazz, el manejo adecuado de las letras y una gran habilidad musical.

This is one of the more straightforward Steely Dan tunes in terms chord vs. bassline and all those funky Fagen keyboard voicings. It's from the Aja album, and I think most Dan fans will find it familiar and fun to play.

She serves the smooth retsina She keeps me safe and warm It's just the calm before the storm Call in my reservation So long, hey thanks my friend I guess I'll try my luck again
The 'Synth Solo' part is tough to make sense of without someone actually playing the solo along with you. Try playing it with the album to get the feel... I'm fairly certain the chords are correct.
