It is widely considered their greatest album.

It also got featured in an episode of that "Classic Albums" documentary series.

Aja is a person.

A female person.

I think that the person on the cover is supposed to represent her.

The title of the album is pronounced "Asia" (like the continent).

Donald Fagen has said Aja was the name of a Korean woman who married the brother of one of his high-school friends.
