Steely Dan Aja is an excellent, full-hour song-by-song study by British documentary series Classic Albums with new, live-in-studio versions of songs from the album. Steely Dan's 1977 sixth studio album Aja is considered by many as one of, if not the greatest album of all-time.

All songs were written by Walter Becker (guitar, bass) and Donald Fagen (lead vocals, synthesizer). Additional Aja musicians featured and/or interviewed in the Steely Dan documentary film include Larry Carlton – guitar, Dean Parks – guitar, Denny Dias – guitar, Rick Marotta – drums, Bernard Purdie – drums, Chuck Rainey – bass guitar, Paul Griffin - piano, Jim Keltner – drums, Wayne Shorter – tenor saxophone, Michael McDonald - backing vocals, Victor Feldman – Fender Rhodes, Steve Gadd - drums, Jay Graydon – guitar solo, and Jon Herrington - guitar.

Long-time Steely Dan producer Gary Katz, Engineer Roger Nichols, journalist Andy Gill, and songwriter Ian Dury provide interesting additional commentary on the complete 1999 music documentary DVD.

The Leprechaun's Lenore by Chick Corea and Steve Gadd was an inspiration used in his drumming on Aja: https://youtu.be/rQad_3rdnwo
