Product Description

CD Description

This is the album where Jackson starts showing off his compositional and instrumental chops. By 1982 he had moved to New York, where he developed a great love of Latin music. Perhaps spurred by his 1981 jump blues outing JUMPIN' JIVE, Jackson again stepped away from his rock & roll past, this time with some outstanding original tunes. NIGHT AND DAY merges Latin sounds with pop, jazz and classic Gershwinesque melodicelegance. It contains the most mature and instantly satisfying compositions of Jackson's career.
The Latin percussion of Sue Hadjopoulos and Jackson' own salsa-tinge piano provide continuity throughout the album. In what was a revolutionary move for a pop-rock artist at the time, Jackson jettisoned his guitarist in favour of a second keyboardist, and thepiano, organ and synthesizer textures provide much of the meat for the arrangements. Alternately propulsive and reflective, NIGHT AND DAY reflects the concerns of an Englishman inNew York City in the early '80s, but the album's biggest hit "Steppin' Out" is a graceful, synth-flavoured love ballad that's as timeless as great pop songs get.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flawless, 13 Jan 2003
Joe Jackson has often been acclaimed as being a very special talent, but equally often slaughtered by the music press for testing our patience with a string of musically indifferent projects. Here though, the man is at his best. Having gained success, which soon waned, with his first 3 albums during the explosion of punk in the late 70’s, in 1982 we find Jackson relocate to New York following the demise of his marriage. Whilst there, he absorbed the many different sounds of a hustling city, and wrote the finest songs of his career. To say that many artists could only dream of writing an album as good as this is no exaggeration. With only a three piece band to back him, all of which are rhythmic (percussion, drums and bass) there is a very tasty, distinctive low-key latin feel to this. With Jackson himself on piano and vocals, he has never sounded finer – sharp, cynical, smart. The opening track ‘Another World’ opens with the line “I was so low, people almost made me give up trying,” – this is Jackson fighting against anybody who never believed in him. ‘Steppin’ Out’ – worth the price of the CD alone, is classic pop, something he has never quite repeated. Crisp piano, classic Graham Maby bass line, soothing vocals… surely this is too good to be true! The second half of the album is much darker, ‘Breaking Us In Two’ is a perfect, honest love song, while Jackson’s own doubts about the world we live in are to the fore with ‘Cancer’ and ‘Real Men’. Just when you think it can’t get better the album ends with Jackson’s finest moment, and a song which I personally believe is the best song ever written, ‘A Slow Song.’ Dark, sophisticated, moving – Jackson is crying out for a moments rest from the noise around him. Gradually it builds and builds into a complete masterpiece – a mere review such as this doesn’t do it justice. This is an album of breathtaking quality, and, unlike a lot of releases, is actually an album, not just 9 very good songs put together. Very special indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Jackson's best, 11 Jan 2000
By A Customer
Joe's fifth album and the first he recorded after relocating to New York from England. The album soaks up the latin rhythms so prominent in that part of the world and combines them with some of his best pop compositions. Includes the gorgeous Slow Song and the electric Steppin' Out. A must.

5.0 out of 5 stars Back in time, 6 April 2003
By A Customer
I owned the album when it first came out, but haven't heard it for years as I no longer have a turntable. This is the closest I will come to the equivalent of travelling back in time ! - I had forgotten how brilliant and innovative the album is.
