Joe Jackson at Town Hall
by Mike Perciaccante
Joe Jackson Town Hall New York, NY October 21, 2015 Joe Jackson is a musical chameleon. His music easily shifts from genre to genre...and his career output proves that fact. The Grammy Award-winning British singer-songwriter was born David Ian Jackson on August 11, 1954. During his career he has released twenty studio albums (including soundtrack work and classical releases). His latest, Fast Forward (Caroline/Universal), was released in early October 2015. ...

by Geoff Anderson
Joe Jackson Paramount Theater Denver October 8, 2015 Joe Jackson has led a double (or maybe triple) life for most of his lengthy career. He hit the scene in 1979 with his debut album Look Sharp! (A&M 1979) rolling into the U.S. from England as part of the “New Wave," a new (at that time) genre reacting to the perceived increasingly bombastic and ponderous tendencies of “Progressive Rock" at the time. “New Wave" stripped down ...

I'd walk by his dorm room and he'd say “hey, check this out" ... and shortly afterward a blast of something new ...

(1979), he wrote and recorded a ditty “Sunday Papers," blasting the British tabloid press with lethal doses of sarcasm. He and his Rain trio (Graham Maby, bass; Dave Houghton, drums) included this song in their rotation while touring last year, and it made it on the official document of that tour, Live Music: Europe 2010, released ...

Joe Jackson - Volume 4 (2003)

Something Else!
By Mark Saleski Warning: Listening to the Joe Jackson Band's 2003 release Volume 4 may give you a strong urge to dig out your skinny tie (c'mon, you know you wore one!) from the back of the closet. You may find yourself heading to the hair salon for no apparent reason. You will, of course, realize that you've developed sentimental feelings for that “sideways" haircut you used to have. Resist: you're just under the spell of Joe Jackson's wayback machine ...
