Joe Jackson
The project represents a stark change in direction from his previous new wave work. It moves into sophisticated jazz and Latin-influenced territory, captured with the crisp fidelity of the mid-eighties.
By playing live in the room, the band achieved an organic, warm sound that distinguishes the recording from the heavily produced, synthetic pop music of the day. The result is a performance that feels as if the listener is sitting in the center of the lodge.
