Free Music Notes for Summer in the City: Live in New York
Free Music Review: Jab the Past
Hit: 5 Stars
Joe Jackson's "Summer in the City" is a great live set. It crackles with energy and verve with Jackson jabbing the past with 5 well-chosen covers from other songwriters. John Sebastian's "Summer in the City" is a welcome warm breeze, although too brief at under 2 minutes, with Jackson's pounding piano. His "Obvious Song" has punch as Joe's piano comes in just slightly behind the beat to great effect. On "Another World" he utilizes the entire keyboard from highest to lowest notes and vocally lifts the chorus over the pulsing piano line. Graham Maby's bass throbs on the medley of Jackson's "Fools in Love" and the Yardbirds' Graham Gouldman-penned classic "For Your Love." Jackson includes his love for classic jazz with the Duke Ellington tribute "Mood Indigo." Another great medley is the combination of Jackson's "Down to London" with the Ramsey Lewis hit "In Crowd" where Joe swelters on that familiar piano line. Lennon & McCartney's "Eleanor Rigby" receives a good reading and shows what a wonderful composition it is as breathy Joe's vocal diverges from what we've come to expect from the McCartney standard. "Be My #2" has a sad feel, "There is not much to do, just smile when I feel blue." On "Home Town" the voice of experience flavors Joe's vocal delivery on this wistful, sentimental tune. "It's Different for Girls" works well in this sparse musical setting. Walter Becker & Donald Fagen's "King of the World" becomes a Joe Jackson tune with his signature vocal snarl. "You Can't Get What You Want" is probably my #1 favorite Jackson track; it's live version works well with slightly less punch than the original studio version. Gary Burke's drums thunder on the opening of "One More Time" on a great track. This live set is more than anything a piano CD; I love it! This is one of my favorite live sets. Enjoy!
