Intervention US Vinilo y CD

Review: ***B-STOCK: Slight surface mark on the record, but otherwise in excellent condition***


Reissued and remastered for 'extreme sound quality', Joe Jackson's 'Body And Soul' finally gets the look back it deserves. Named ironically after Johnny Green's classic American jazz standard of the same name, Jackson's music at this point wasn't straight-up jazz, but rather jazz-intoned pop and latin, carefully constructed to only merely allude to the style. And than whirling uninventively through standards, too, the solo vocal wizard here crafts his own songs, from the sultry buzz of 'Loisaida' to the drum-clattering, brass-bursty hit single, 'The Verdict.'
