We have put together a programme in our Radio 2 series Johnnie Walker's Long Players concerning 'Night And Day'.
This will be the last series and we always listen to two albums in each show, so Joe has been paired up with Tina Turner. A longer version of the interview will appear on the
Radio 2 website and on
BBC Sounds when the show is broadcast on Saturday, 4th May 2019. The show will also be streamed and available for download (for 30 days after broadcast) on the

In January 2016, Joe Jackson was one of the recipients of the B.Z.-Kulturpreis, a cultural award by the Berlin newspaper B.Z. During the award ceremony, which took place on 20 January at the Haus der Berliner Festspiele, the recipients were honoured by musical performances. In Joe's honour, the Athenäum Quartet of the Berlin Philharmonic played Beethoven's string quartet no. 6.
Here's an excerpt from the press release (my translation):
For the 25th time B.Z., Berlin's newspaper with the highest circulation, honours outstanding persons who have contributed through their work to Berlin's cultural and artistic diversity. [...] Another award goes to the British musician Joe Jackson. The statement of the B.Z. editors says: "On his latest album 'Fast Forward', our city played an important musical role. On it the song 'If I Could See Your Face' was addressed to the brothers of the murder victim Hatun Sürücü".
Here's an official video about the B.Z.-Kulturpreis Gala. At 2:25 you can see Joe's very short 'acceptance speech'.
And here are some photos from the event:

Here's an excerpt from Joe's official website (with some links added):
Fast Forward was produced and arranged by Jackson, and features four sets of four songs recorded in four different cities – New York, New Orleans, Berlin and Amsterdam – each with a different set of incredible supporting musicians.
Session 1: New York
Jackson has called New York home for many years. He recorded these tracks with Bill Frisell on guitar, Brian Blade on drums, his longtime bassist Graham Maby, and jazz violin star Regina Carter. Along with three originals including the album's title track, these sessions also feature a cover of Television's "See No Evil."
Session 2: Amsterdam
Distinguished by the most diverse instrumentation of the four sessions, Jackson is joined on these songs by frequent collaborators Stefan Kruger and Stefan Schmid from the band Zuco 103, the Concertgebouw orchestra, and the project's only guest vocalist, 14-year-old Mitchell Sink (from the cast of the Broadway musical "Matilda.")
Session 3: Berlin
Berlin is Jackson’s second home, and he recorded here with two expatriate American musicians: acoustic bass master Greg Cohen (Tom Waits, Ornette Coleman, Bob Dylan) and Tindersticks drummer Earl Harvin. These sessions produced the album's second cover, Jackson's modern English take on the 1930s German 'Kabarett' song "Good Bye Jonny."
Session 4: New Orleans
Jackson traveled to one of his favorite cities, New Orleans, to record with an all-local cast including three members of the funk band Galactic – drummer Stanton Moore, bassist Robert Mercurio, and guitarist Jeff Raines – and a horn section led by saxophonist Donald Harrison.
Earlier, some information had emerged about Joe Jackson's upcoming album.
In the July edition of his music blog WILT, Joe mentioned in passing:
On my new project I've been privileged to work with two of the absolute best [drummers] around today, Brian Blade and Stanton Moore.
It turned out that Stanton Moore, of the band Galactic, had already spoken about his recording session with Joe in an interview with Glide Magazine, published in February:
Galactic just did a session with Joe Jackson [...] He came to New Orleans to record with Robert Mercurio, our bass player, and Jeff Raines, our guitar player. [...]
– Working with Joe Jackson, was that for an upcoming album he’s doing?
– Yes, I don’t know when it’s coming out but he’s doing four different sessions, four different sets of four songs, each recorded in a different city with different musicians. So it’s Berlin, Amsterdam, New York and New Orleans.

On 5 Dec 2014 Joe Jackson distributed the following short message via Facebook and Twitter:
"Recording new songs. Stay tuned."
along with a photograph from a recording studio – see left. (Please note that this picture is not one from Joe's current recording session. It probably dates from 2003.)
On 23 Jan 2015 Joe posted the following message on Facebook:
"Update: the recording phase of the new project is now complete. On to mixing. Stay tuned folks."
(source: Joe's Facebook and Twitter accounts)
Joe has recorded piano for two tracks on the upcoming album by Mary Lee Kortes, better known to JJ fans as Mary Lee's Corvette, who opened for Joe on the Volume 4 Tour. For her project, called 'The Songs of Beulah Rowley', Mary Lee created not only the songs but also a complex background story of a fictitious Depression-era songwriter who died tragically young and unknown, and whose sheet music supposedly found its way into Mary Lee's family.
Mary Lee Kortes has now teamed up with producer Hal Wilner, and launched a PledgeMusic campaign to finish the project. Follow that link to get more information and also to preview the track 'Will Anybody Know That I Was Here' with Joe on piano.

In April 2014, Joe spent a few days in Amsterdam, working at Electric Monkey studios, with Stefan Kruger and Stefan Schmid from one of his favourite bands, Zuco 103. The project is an offshoot of Zuco 103 featuring collaborations with various artists, to be released under the name 'Zuco Sound'.
Joe has contributed lyrics, vocals and piano to two songs, one of which also features Zuco vocalist Lilian Vieira. The album will probably appear around October.
(source: Joe's official website)
Background info: Zuco 103 had contributed to Joe's last album The Duke (on 'Perdido' and 'It Don't Mean A Thing'). Singer Lilian Vieira also joined Joe on stage during the Duke tour's three Dutch concerts.
Joe will be making a special guest appearance at "Fess Fest" at Tipitina's in New Orleans next Thursday, Nov 7th.
The evening will pay tribute to the late great Professor Longhair, whose family home was devastated in Hurricane Katrina and remains in shambles. 100% of the proceeds will go toward rebuilding this historic home on Terpsichore Street for the Professor's family, who have been forced to rely on friends and family for housing since the disaster.
Other guest artists include actor/musician Hugh Laurie, as well as local NOLA greats Jon Cleary, Donald Harrison Jr., George Porter Jr., and others.
All three concerts planned so far have been cancelled. It looks like there will be no tour in 2013.
On 15 September Joe kicked off his tour in support of "The Duke", playing songs from that album and a selection of older material. Joe is touring with The Bigger Band, a six-piece ensemble, consisting of Regina Carter on violin, long-time Jackson collaborator, percussionist Sue Hadjopoulos, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Allison Cornell, Jesse Murphy on bass, Adam Rogers on guitar, and Nate Smith on drums. This band also appeared on the US TV show "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" on 13 July 2012. See here.
The list of US and European dates can be found on this page: The Duke Tour.
According to Joe's official website, the concerts run approximately 2 hours with no opening act.
