This Live album is from the reunited Joe Jackson Band's 2003 tour.   Taken from four shows in California, the thirteen tracks were selected to favour songs, or arrangements of songs, which haven't already been released in live versions.

 

Coming 25 years after Joe's debut, "Look Sharp," VOLUME 4 reunites his old band-mates for the first time in 23 years. This album will surely please anyone who was ever a fan of Joe’s older work from the late 70s and early 80s. Available from Restless/Ryko. This Limited edition includes a bonus disc of live material recorded during the warm up gigs in the UK.

 

Joe revisits the themes of NIGHT AND DAY evoking the pain, anguish, joy and exhilaration of New York city life as seen through the eyes of several different characters.

 

SUMMER IN THE CITY: This Live album was recorded in New York in August 1999. The live band was a trio: Joe on piano and vocals, Graham Maby on bass and vocals, and Gary Burke on drums. The album consists of new versions of songs from Joe's whole career and several cover versions.

 

A wonderful instrumental that takes your mind drifting over various soundscapes. Released in October 1999, this is Joe Jackson's First Symphony. Consisting of four movements of rock-like instrumentals representing the different stages of life. With plenty of synths, electric guitar, and keyboards.

 

  A strong musical interpretation of the 7 deadly sins. The result is a unique sound that is not quite classical, not quite jazz, and not quite rock.

 

  Music for the dark night of the soul. Beautiful and darkly touching.
