| Steely Dan Shabb -
Thanks for the compliment.
Yes, we all miss Cornelius. He went way too early.
I think that Fagen really likes to have sax players that push the envelope harmonically. I know the saxophonist, and he is a tremendous talent. He probably could have played in the style that you mentioned (more rock/pop), but I honestly think that those guys love hearing him stretch out a bit.
Also - you are absolutely right about Herington ... he is amazing. He can fit in any situation and make it happen.
Welcome to TM, shabb.
