Joe Jackson

Night and Day Joe Jackson 180 gram edition

By 1982 New Wave Angry-Man Joe Jackson had already broadened his attentions to a more diverse sound. Night And Day is a tribute to the Tin Pan Alley style songwriting of Cole Porter and George Gershwin, both early heroes of the English singer. With more emphasis on keys & percussion than his earlier work, Night And Day became a hybrid of Latin rhythms and jazzy horns & pianos, with stylish synths & splashy pop that perfectly reflects the New York of the early '80s. Riding on the single 'Steppin' Out', for which he was nominated for a Grammy, the album crept to the number 4 position on the American and number 3 in the British charts, and eventually went gold. This is the first vinyl edition since 1985!
