Note:
Gaucho is the seventh studio album by the American Jazz rock band
Steely Dan, released in 1980. The sessions for Gaucho represented the
peak of Steely Dan's recording studio perfectionism and obsessive
recording technique. To record the album, the band used at least 42
different musicians, spent over a year in the studio, and far exceeded
the original monetary advance given to the band by their record label.
During the two-year span in which the album was recorded, the band was
plagued by a number of creative, personal and professional problems.
MCA, Warner Bros. and Steely Dan had a three-way legal battle over the
rights to release the album. After it was released, jazz musician
Keith Jarrett successfully sued the band for writing credit on the
title song "Gaucho".
Gaucho marked a significant stylistic change for Steely Dan,
introducing a more minimal, groove- and atmosphere-based format. The
harmonically complex chord changes that were a distinctive mark of
earlier Steely Dan songs are less prominent on Gaucho, with the
record's songs tending to revolve around a single rhythm or mood.
Gaucho proved to be Steely Dan's final studio album before a 12-year
hiatus.
