Summer in the City: Live in New York is a live album by English musician, singer and songwriter Joe Jackson with Graham Maby and Gary Burke. The album was produced by Jackson and Sheldon Steiger.
With semi-classical pieces on his previous three recordings, Jackson proved he had not abandoned pop altogether in June 2000, with this issue, an album drawn from an August 1999 concert.[3][4] It featured Jackson playing the piano and singing, backed only by bassist Maby and drummer Burke, performing some of his old songs and several covers.[3]
The shows were recorded by Steve Remote and Sheldon Steiger over three days in August 1999 at Joe's Pub in Manhattan.[5]
