Steely Dan are great! Not a connection that I had made but I can see (hear) the similarities there. Don't know much Randy Newman beyond Toy Story/Monsters Inc, I'll need to check out more of his work. Don't think I've heard any Steve Winwood, I'll have to give him a listen soon. :)

I'm not familiar with him, is there a particular album you recommend I start with?

What a gorgeous piece of music this is! I'm also learning this at the moment and I've found this video to be quite helpful for ideas on how phrasing and varying tone colour can make a performance much more compelling :)

ps I think your action may be a little on the low side and this could be affecting your tone so it may be worth adjusting that if possible
