Show & CultureShow & CultureArriving in the middle of the rush of angry young men during the late 1970s, Joe Jackson swiftly established himself as one of the great unpredictable talents to emerge during rock's new wave. Initially playing nervy, punk-inspired pop/rock—his breakthrough single "Is She Really Going Out with Him?" married a smooth melody with barbed lyrics, the racket of "I'm the Man" rivalled the Clash—Jackson branched out into reggae and jump blues before settling into the sophisticated songsmith of Night & Day. Designed as a salute to Cole Porter, Night & Day had a sleek, synth-speckled sheen, and "Steppin' Out" and "Breaking Us in Two" became radio hits in 1982, giving Jackson room to continue following his muse over the next decades. While Jackson never abandoned pop/rock, he often explored projects far outside the mainstream, including several classical music albums, a 2012 Duke Ellington tribute album, and "What a Racket!", a collection of music hall songs written under the name "Max Champion."
