Outstanding collection of three sets of handwritten charts by Donald Fagen for his Nightfly sessions, totaling nineteen pages, all signed on a label affixed to the upper right in ballpoint by Fagen. Each is stamped at the top with “Master Rhythm” and “Arr. by Donald Fagen,” as well as the song name. Charts include eight pages for ‘The Goodbye Look,’ six pages for ‘New Frontier,’ and five pages for ‘I.G.Y.’ Several pages bear handwritten edits and emendations. Toning and dampstaining to the first page of ‘The Goodbye Look,’ and general wear from use, otherwise overall fine condition. Accompanied by a handwritten note stating that these are “charts from the original sessions of ‘Nightfly.’” The Nightfly was Fagen’s first solo album without Walter Becker, and featured the hit songs ‘I.G.Y. (What a Beautiful World)’ and ‘New Frontier.’ Pre-certified REAL.
