Title: What a pleasant surprise!
Review: Made in CAN in 2000, Serial# SK-89237, Playing Time: 55 min.Don't let the fact that this CD (his 18th) is on the Sony Classical label: there's no classical music here!I never know what to expect from a new Joe Jackson album: he's done some I really like (like "I'm The Man" and "Night And Day"), and some I really hate (like "Jumpin' Jive" and "Heaven & Hell").The performances of the trio (piano, bass and drums) in this case is astonishingly fresh and impeccably recorded; there are some smart arrangements (like "Fools In Love/For Your Love") and the renditions of other people's music are respectful yet innovative.This CD won't be collecting dust!
