Body and Soul

Joe Jackson releases his jazz-focused project-- blending pop, Latin, and soul influences -- on March 14, 1984. It's his 6th album and features some sophisticated arrangements and high-fidelity production.

Joe Jackson’s Jumpin’ Jive, Jumpin’ Jive, 1981 on A&M

Joe Jackson always seemed to me a bit like someone out of the wrong time – though I loved his new wave / new romantic era and azz inflected records, on this one he went full on 1940s, covering songs from the swing and jump blues era.

Some people feel like it is a gimmick album or a throwaway, but I really enjoy it – it may be done a bit tongue in cheek but these are musicians (Jackson included) who love this music and take it seriously.

My copy—via Academy Records in NYC—is a Terre Haute pressing from the early 80s.
