Accompanied by the original faux alligator hard shell case. Walter Becker (1950-2017) was an American musician, songwriter, and producer who along with Donald Fagen was a co-founding member of the rock fusion band Steely Dan. Becker and Fagen began their musical careers as songwriters, before forming Steely Dan in 1971. Steely Dan began as a traditional band with a permanent lineup before Becker and Fagen retreated to the studio in 1974 as a duo. They hired session musicians for their subsequent releases, pushing the envelope in musical production with influences from rock, jazz, and blues - later described as part of the "yacht rock" genre. Steely Dan broke up in 1981, but reformed in the 1990s.
