British singer-songwriter Joe Jackson has a career spanning 45 years, with most of us meeting him on his 1979 hit song, Is She Really Going Out With Him? or 1982’s Stepping Out. Over the years Jackson has explored pop, jazz and classical musical styles.
Currently touring his new album of original music, Fast Forward, Joe Jackson graces the
Nathan Philips Square stage at the TD Toronto Jazz Festival on Sunday, July 2nd.
The album was recorded in four different cities Amsterdam, Berlin, New Orleans and New
York featuring different musicians in each city including Bill Frisell (guitar) and Stanton
Moore (drums).
Joe Jackson’s unmistakable vocals should prove nostalgic for many of us, and perhaps
we’ll find a new favourite to associate with him the next time we hear his name.
