Good interview.
I HATE the ad breaks watching YouTube.
Humble guy. FINALLY someone covers the elusive Denny Dias. Only took 50 years!
Only knew of Denny reading the credits on the albums.
Denny Dias
Rick Beato recently did a great interview with Denny Dias - famous for his great playing on Steely Dan recordings. Personally, he's my favourite of all the stellar guitarists that played for Becker and Fagen so this was a real pleasure to watch.

"Beato, whose puppy-dog-like enthusiasm usually dominates his interviews and serves to draw interesting stuff from his subjects, doesn’t get far with Dias, who apparently isn’t interested or willing to be drawn out." We have to take what we can get. Beato isn't an experienced interviewer. He's"only" 63. He was a grade school kid when the CBAT was released! Most interviews are awkward when interviewer is a generation younger than the interviewee. Being a guitar fan, I like Beatos techie questions. I'll be honest, other than to guitar centric questions. the interview was dull.

Denny just isn’t a high energy 79 year old. This is SD’s longtime engineer’s daughter with Denny. She and her sidekick were annoying, but Denny didn’t seem to mind. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qkU34Qw066M Interesting CBAT cut trivia revealed. Edit Denny was maybe bored with answering Rick's questions that were asked a dozen times? |
