Musical artist

Joe Jackson (born David Ian Jackson, 11 August 1954) is an English musician and singer-songwriter now living in Berlin, whose five Grammy Award nominations span from 1979 to 2001. He is probably best known for the 1978 hit song and first single "Is She Really Going Out with Him?"; for his 1982 Top 10 hit, "Steppin' Out"; and for his 1984 success with "You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)". He was popular for his pop/rock and new wave music early on before moving to more eclectic, though less commercially successful, pop/jazz/classical hybrids.

Biography

Born in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, David Jackson spent his first year in neighbouring Swadlincote, Derbyshire. He grew up in the Paulsgrove area of Portsmouth, where he attended the City of Portsmouth Boys' School. His parents moved to nearby Gosport when he was a teenager.

He learned to play the violin but soon switched to piano and prevailed on his dad to install one in the hall of their Paulsgrove council house. From the age of 16, he played in bars, and won a scholarship to study musical composition at London's Royal Academy of Music.

Jackson's first band, in Gosport, was called Edward Bear, later renamed Edwin Bear and then Arms and Legs, but dissolved in 1976 after two unsuccessful singles. He was still known as David Jackson while in Arms & Legs, but around this time he picked up the nickname "Joe", based on his perceived resemblance to the puppet character Joe 90. He then spent some time in the cabaret circuit to make money to record a demo.

In 1978, a record producer heard his tape, and got him signed to A&M Records. The next year the newly dubbed Joe Jackson Band released their debut album, Look Sharp!. For its mix of energetic New Wave rock and bitter British punk, Jackson was frequently lumped together with Elvis Costello and Graham Parker. The album enjoyed wide critical success: in 2013 Rolling Stone magazine named Look Sharp! the #98 best debut album of all time. Some commercial success also followed, as the debut single "Is She Really Going Out with Him?" reached the top 40 in 5 countries, and #9 in Canada.

The Joe Jackson band wasted little time in following up, and in 1979 released I'm the Man. The album followed a similar musical pattern, and resultingly received good, though not as strong, reviews. It did produce the single "It's Different for Girls", which became Jackson's highest charting UK single, peaking at #5. Reviews were decent, though Robert Christgau responded to I'm the Man by saying "Oh yeah? Then get the knack back."

Beat Crazy followed in 1980. He also collaborated with Lincoln Thompson in reggae crossover.

In 1981, Jackson produced an album for the British power pop group The Keys. The Keys Album was the group's only LP.

The Joe Jackson Band toured extensively. After the break-up of the band, Jackson took a break and recorded an album of old-style swing and blues tunes, Jumpin' Jive, with songs by Cab Calloway, Lester Young, Glenn Miller, and Louis Jordan. The album, and associated single release, was credited to Joe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive.

Jackson's 1982 album Night and Day was his only studio album to reach either the United States or UK Top 10, peaking at No. 4 (US) and at No. 3 (UK), and the cuts "Steppin' Out (Joe Jackson song)|Steppin' Out]]" and "Breaking Us in Two" were both top 20 hits. The tracks "Real Men" and "A Slow Song" pointed obliquely to New York City's early 1980s gay culture.

Almost two years later, Jackson recorded the US No. 20 and UK No. 14 album Body and Soul, also heavily influenced by pop and jazz standards and salsa, with the US No. 15 hit single "You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)".

In 1985 Jackson played piano on Joan Armatrading's 1985 album Secret Secrets, and in 1986 he collaborated with Suzanne Vega on the single "Left of Center" from Pretty in Pink's soundtrack.

Jackson's next album was Big World, with all-new songs recorded live in front of an audience instructed to remain silent while music was playing (they slip up once during the breakdown of "Soul Kiss"). Released in 1986, it was a three-sided double record; the fourth side consisted of a single centering groove and a label stating "there is no music on this side". The instrumental album "Will Power" (1987), with heavy classical and jazz influences, set the stage for things to come later, but before he left pop behind, he put out two more albums, Blaze of Glory (which he performed in its entirety during the subsequent tour) and Laughter & Lust.

Sony Classical released his Symphony No. 1 in 1999, for which he received a Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Album in 2001.

In 1995, Joe Jackson contributed his version of "Statue of Liberty" on a tribute album to the English band XTC called A Testimonial Dinner: The Songs of XTC.

In 2003, he reunited his original quartet for the album Volume 4, and a lengthy tour.

In 2004, Jackson performed a cover of Pulp's "Common People" with William Shatner for Shatner's album Has Been.

Jackson's album Rain was released by Rykodisc on 28 January 2008 in the UK and one day later in the US.

Joe Jackson and the Bigger Band, featuring Regina Carter, played fourteen shows in the USA and 21 shows in Europe from September to November 2012.

Jackson was married to a woman named Ruth until divorce.

Other activities

Jackson has actively campaigned against smoking bans in both the United States and the United Kingdom, writing a 2005 pamphlet The Smoking Issue, a 2007 essay Smoke, lies and the nanny state and issuing a satirical song ("In 20-0-3") on the subject.

Jackson wrote an autobiography called A Cure For Gravity, published in 1999, which he described as a "book about music, thinly disguised as a memoir". It traces his working class upbringing in Portsmouth and charts his musical life from childhood until his twenty-fourth birthday. Life as a pop star, he insisted, was hardly worth writing about.
