Music reviews of Summer in the City: Live in New York
Music Review: This album grows and grows on you
Rating: 5 Stars
I'm sorry someone else felt Joe sold out or went down hill. This album reveals that early on Joe was and has always been a masterful musician and composer. It also shows how great and a vital part of Joe Jackson
s albums Graham Maby on bass is.
This album because its live may not jump right at one's ears on the first listen, though there are parts that do. However after listening to this album a few times it becomes great. After more listens than I care to admit it has grown on me to the point that it is one of my favorite albums. It is by far the best of his many live albums. It also offers insights and access to his newer albums. I myself think his last album Rain is great.
But back to this album, it is a great combination of songs. Its an album that great to play as background or on headphones. Whenever, I hear a song off of it I end up turning shuffle off and listening to the rest.
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
