	Joe Jackson (musician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joe Jackson (born August 11, 1954 in Burton-upon-Trent) is a British musician.

		Jackson toured with Koffee 'n' Kream from the fall of 1977 to the spring of 1978, and the money he made enabled him to move to London in January 1978 and continue recording his album in a Portsmouth studio.
		The first blush of his emergence fading, Jackson was beginning to be viewed by critics as the third in a line of angry British singer/songwriters starting with Graham Parker and continuing with Elvis Costello, and his commercial success created resentment, especially because he was not as forthcoming with the media as the garrulous Costello.
		Jackson returned to the studio and emerged in March 1984 with Body & Soul, an album with a cover photograph showing him clutching a saxophone in the style of the 1950s LP covers of Blue Note Records.

	Joe Jackson
		Okay, there are similarities, but Jackson is a university-trained pianist and arranger who's very concerned with credibility as a musician and composer, not very concerned with intellectualism, and fascinated with jazz and salsa rather than country and western.
		The conventional wisdom on Jackson is that he's a misguided talent: a first-rate tunesmith who's too smart for pop but not skilled enough for the ambitious range of genres he attempts.
		It might have helped if Jackson had written some decent melodies - I think someone forgot to tell him that "serious" isn't supposed to be synonymous with "boring" - and there's not nearly enough development to justify all the seven- and eight-minute running times.
