Wow. Paul Humphrey's on it! Cool find!

I have the LP...years later, found the cd.

Assuming you're just being funny...

It's a cast of studio musicians, I always thought of the album as a 1-off.
I mean, Hoops McCann is a character in "Glamour Profession". That wouldn't work if they worked up arrangements for other bands.

That was a sought after LP/CD back in the day, especially in the years Steely Dan were dormant.

Exactly!
I looked these dates up...

• Hoops McCann Band was released in 1988.
• Gaucho in 1980
• Fagen's The Nightfly in 1982. Thinking back, the 2 years or so between Gaucho & this album seemed longer.
• Alive In America in 1995

Here's some other I bought during the great Steely Dan drought-

• The New York Rock and Soul Revue 1991

Fagen and an All-Star cast; couple of Dan tunes were covered.

• Eye To Eye 1982

Produced by Gary Katz. A lot of the Dan session guys on this synth duo's album. I bought this because of Chuck Rainey.

• Rosie Vela - Zazu 1986

Produced by Gary Katz. Becker/Fagen & other Dan sessioneers appeared.

I knew that name sounded familiar.

Admittedly yes I was making it up aka the drugs were kicking in and it was an attempt at amusing myself with creative writing I thought some musical friends might get amusement from. Guess not. I didn't say they were good drugs.

I was entertained! Thanks!
