Joe Jackson

Britain’s Joe Jackson is one of the new wave’s finest, together with Elvis Costello and David Byrne, and all three were as relevant yesterday as they are today. Eclectic and chameleon-like, he has always made his mark with his musical imagination, which has seen him leap through the genres since his appearance on stage all the way back in 1979: reggae, jump-blues, salsa, rhythm & blues, contemporary… Since then, he has received five Grammy nominations and has released twenty-one albums – the last of them, Fool, in January this year. His album and promotional single, Fabulously Absolute, demonstrate that we are referring to a legend in the very best of form. His performance in San Sebastian is part of the “Four Decade Tour,” with which he celebrates his forty years in music.
