Title: Well Done . . . Captures Joe's Live Show Personna!
Review: Being a fan of Joe Jackson from his early "Look Sharp!" efforts to the present day "Englishman trapped in New York" stylings, I was very impressed with his recent concert this spring here in Milwaukee. This CD, although directed at a New York audience, really does renew his concert experience and exhibits Joe's versatility in a live format.He truly is unique and covers material by the Beatles, Yardbirds, Ramsey Lewis, and my favorite - Steely Dan - in a very novel manner. It would be great to hear more colaborations with another transplanted New Yorker - Donald Fagan - to see what other jazz, pop, swing, or other sounds might ensue.I would give this a 5-star rating, but for the weak finish of the CD - a less than inspiring JJ piece.Definitely a MUST for any JJ fan collection . . . and a great introduction to any new fans looking for a truly original musician with a love for entertaining and the craft of music.
