Eminent Hipsters by Donald Fagen – review. Moments of musical transcendence and life on the road this dry white whine from the Steely Dan singer is a memoir to savour. Reelin’ in the years.

Fagen, co-founder of rock/pop/jazz group Steely Dan, begins by introducing the “eminent hipsters” that spoke to him as he was growing up in a bland New Jersey suburb in the early s, among them Jean Shepherd, whose manic nightly broadcasts out of WOR-Radio “enthralled a generation of alienated young people”; Henry Mancini, whose swank, noirish soundtracks left their mark on him; and Mort Fega, the laid-back, knowledgeable all-night jazz man at WEVD who was like “the cool uncle.
