Music reviews of Summer in the City: Live in New York
Music Review: Quite a nice surprise for this geezer...
Rating: 4 Stars
I had never heard of Joe Jackson, and my excuse was "What do you expect? I'm 63 years old, for Pete's sake." My son gave this CD to me last week. As a radio DJ, he knows what's good, and as my now adult male child, he knows my own tastes pretty well. He thought I might like it. Well, I do. "Summer in the City" and "Mood Indigo" and "The In Crowd" and "Eleanor Rigby" are all songs I was familiar with, being a coot, but the new and original material on here is also fine. This is rock, pop, blues, jazzy instrumentals, R & B and a tinge of folk sensibility, all in one concert. Any real music lover who gives it a listen will find something to like here.
Description of Summer in the City: Live in New York
Singer-songwriter Joe Jackson may have ridden the contentious nerve of late-1970s new wave to his first chart triumphs, but he quickly proved he was no slave to fashion. Even earlier than Elvis Costello, Jackson utilized his commercial clout to explore a diverse, idiosyncratic musical palette that ranged from swing through reggae, Tin Pan Alley, and classical. Having seemingly forsaken pop songs altogether in the '90s for larger classically themed set pieces, this live recording of Jackson performing songs in peak form with a stripped-down trio (including Graham Maby on bass and drummer Gary Burke) should come as something of a pleasant surprise for Jackson fans. Imbued with a healthy dose of the singer's trademark musical utopianism, the set list is characterized by smart renditions of vintage, if not overexposed Jackson catalog gems, several of which are interpolated in medleys with a generous sampling of cover songs that are often as surprising as they are insightful. Paired with the Yardbirds' moody "For Your Love," "Fools in Love" becomes a bluesy dirge, while Steely Dan's "King of the World" neatly bookends Jackson's "You Can't Get What You Want" both musically and thematically. It's also a record that should smartly segue into Jackson's anticipated sequel to his biggest (and best) pop/jazz fusion success, Night and Day. --Jerry McCulleyNew Wave CDs
