  • The Original Joe Jackson Band—Lead Vocalist/Songwr
    A Conversation with Joe Jackson by Barry Gutman (Puremusic.com 5/2003) The original Joe Jackson band—lead vocalist/songwriter/keyboard player Jackson, bassist Graham Maby, guitarist Gary Sanford, and drummer Dave Houghton—rode the musical New Wave out of England to international success in 1979 on a pair of classic albums on A&M Records, Look Sharp! and I’m the Man, and tireless touring. The world fell hard for the band’s spare-yet-full sound, featuring Sanford’s stuttering, insistent rhythm guitar chords, Houghton’s swift, precise and solid drumming, and, especially, Maby’s amazingly intricate bass—the band’s true lead instrument. And then, of course, there were Jackson’s infrequent piano and melodica solos that, along with his rich musical vocabulary which, at that time, emphasized not only powerful rock but also bouncy ska, melodic pop, and lyrics that were alternately scathing and vulnerable. The Joe Jackson Band worked relentlessly throughout 1980, coming off the road just long enough to record their most experimental and least warmly received album, Beat Crazy. By the end of that year, they’d called it a day. Over the next 20 years, Jackson recorded several more albums that were cast in various shades of rock, pop, jazz, blues, and even classical music, as the muse and mood struck him. The results of his eclectic efforts ranged from 1982’s Night and Day, Jackson’s pop commercial peak, featuring adult contemporary standbys “Stepping Out” and “Breaking Us in Two,” to, for Sony Classical, 1997’s Heaven and Hell, a somewhat challenging interpretation of the seven deadly sins that’s best described, on Jackson’s own Web site, as “not quite classical, not quite jazz, and not quite rock.” Some of Jackson’s other albums featured big band covers (1981’s extremely enjoyable Jumpin’ Jive), instrumental orchestral music (1987’s Willpower), and various film soundtracks, including 1983’s Mike Murder, which contained several fine songs and a score wasted on an indifferently edited and marketed movie.
