  • The Nightfly is the debut solo studio album by American singer-songwriter Donald Fagen. Produced by Gary Katz, it was released October 1, 1982, by Warner Bros. Records. Fagen was previously best known for his work in the group Steely Dan, with whom he enjoyed a successful career in the 1970s. The band separated in 1981, leading Fagen to pursue a solo career. Although The Nightfly includes a number of production staff and musicians who had played on Steely Dan records, it was Fagen's first release without longtime collaborator Walter Becker. Unlike most of Fagen's previous work, The Nightfly is almost blatantly autobiographical. Many of the songs relate to the cautiously optimistic mood of his suburban childhood in the late 1950s and early 1960s and incorporate such topics as late-night jazz disc jockeys, fallout shelters, and tropical vacations. Recorded over eight months at various studios between New York City and Los Angeles, the album is an early example of a fully digital recording in popular music. The nascent technology, as well as the perfectionist nature of its engineers and musicians, made the album difficult to record. The Nightfly was well-received, both critically and commercially. It was certified platinum in both the US and UK and generated two popular singles with the top 40 hit "I.G.Y." and the MTV favorite "New Frontier". Among critics, The Nightfly gained widespread acclaim and received seven nominations at the 1983 Grammy Awards. The relatively low-key but long-lived popularity of The Nightfly led Robert J. Toth of The Wall Street Journal in 2008 to dub the album "one of pop music's sneakiest masterpieces." (en)

  • The Nightfly är ett musikalbum av den amerikanske musikern och låtskrivaren Donald Fagen från 1982. Det var Fagens första soloalbum efter karriären i Steely Dan. The Nightfly ses av många som höjdpunkten i det "slicka" jazzrock-soundet som dominerade Los Angeles-baserad musik åren kring 1980, och karakteriseras av ypperlig produktion och insatser från framstående musiker som Jeff Porcaro, Randy Brecker, Michael Brecker, Greg Phillinganes, Marcus Miller och Steve Gadd. Albumet är till största del skrivet och arrangerat av Donald Fagen. (sv)
  • The Nightfly é o álbum de estréia do cantor e compositor americano Donald Fagen. Produzido por , foi lançado em 1 de outubro de 1982 pela Warner Bros Records. Anteriormente, Fagen era mais conhecido por seu trabalho no grupo Steely Dan, com quem teve uma carreira de sucesso nos anos 70. A banda se separou em 1981, levando Fagen a seguir carreira solo. Embora The Nightfly inclua uma equipe de produção e músicos que tocaram nos álbuns do Steely Dan, foi o primeiro lançamento de Fagen sem o amigo de longa data Walter Becker. Ao contrário da maioria dos trabalhos anteriores de Fagen, The Nightfly é quase descaradamente autobiográfico. Muitas das canções se relacionam com o humor cautelosamente otimista de sua infância suburbana no final dos anos 1950 e início dos anos 1960, e incorporam temas como apresentadores de programas de jazz noturnos, abrigos nucleares e férias tropicais. Gravado ao longo de oito meses em vários estúdios entre Nova York e Los Angeles, o álbum é um dos primeiros exemplos de uma gravação totalmente digital na música popular. A tecnologia nascente, assim como a natureza perfeccionista de seus engenheiros e músicos, tornaram difícil a a tarefa de gravar o álbum. The Nightfly foi bem recebido, tanto criticamente quanto comercialmente. Foi certificado como Disco de Platina nos Estados Unidos e no Reino Unido, e gerou dois singles populares como "I.G.Y.", que alcançou o Top 40 na Billboard Hot 100 e o favorito da MTV "New Frontier". Entre os críticos, The Nightfly ganhou aclamação generalizada e recebeu sete indicações no Prêmio Grammy de 1983. A relativamente discreta, mas duradoura, popularidade de The Nightfly levou do Jornal The Wall Street, em 2008, a apelidar o álbum de "uma das obras-primas mais pop da música pop". (pt)
