Steely Dan frontman Donald Fagen is the guest on the latest episode of the AXS TV series Paul Shaffer Plus One, which airs this Sunday, October 13, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

The show features Paul Shaffer conducting interviews while seated at his piano, and on the new episode, he and Fagen jam out together on the Steely Dan classic “Reelin’ in the Years.” You can check out a video of the dual-keyboard performance on AXS.tv and the AXS TV YouTube channel.

Also on the program, Fagen reveals how he became a “jazz snob” after attending the Newport Jazz Festival at the age of 11, shares his recollections about Steely Dan’s early years, and discusses his songwriting process and his relationship with his late Steely Dan partner Walter Becker, who died of cancer in 2017.

Steely Dan kicks off a new run of fall U.S. concerts tonight in Rochester, New York, and the band begins a multiple-show engagement at the Beacon Theatre in New York City on Tuesday, October 15. Check out the group’s full itinerary at SteelyDan.com.
