Summer in the City: Live in New York

About Summer in the City: Live in New York

Summer in the City: Live in New York is a live album, produced by Joe Jackson and Sheldon Steiger. With semi-classical pieces on his previous three recordings, Jackson proved he had not abandoned pop altogether in June 2000, with this issue, an album drawn from an August 1999 concert. It featured Jackson playing the piano and singing, backed only by Graham Maby and drummer Gary Burke, performing some of his old songs and several covers. The shows were recorded by Steve Remote and Sheldon Steiger over three days in August 1999 at Joe's Pub in Manhattan. In 2017 independent record label Intervention Records released Summer in the City for the first time on vinyl with mastering done using high-resolution archives. This is the fourth Joe Jackson vinyl release from Intervention Records. more »
