Checking this out…not really listened to Joe Jackson since way back when Look Sharp came out and was on regular rotation amongst friends.
I’ve seen Body And Soul posted here a few times and theres a vinyl re issue…
I dont get it to be honest, nicely done and recorded but to me sounds like polished MOR

Not sure how others have created theirs, but these avatars are custom Photoshop artwork, with forum software cropping them to a circle shape.

Thanks Geoff, a bit beyond my analogue brain and facilities I think. Good though

Another first…
Phi-Psonics is a meditative, immersive instrumental group from Los Angeles, led by bassist Seth Ford-Young and featuring Sylvain Carton on woodwinds, Mitchell Yoshida on electric piano, and Josh Collazo on drums. Their deeply soulful music draws on jazz and classical influences together with Ford-Young’s own musical experiences, relationships, and his introduction to spirituality, yoga and philosophy at a young age, to create something uniquely its own. Phi-Psonics’ name and ultimate aim is to find ‘Phi’ – the golden mean – in art, nature and self
Originally from Washington DC area, Ford-Young moved to California in the early 90s and fell in love with the deep sounds of the upright bass and the music of Charles Mingus, John and Alice Coltrane, and Duke Ellington along with Bach, Chopin, Pärt, and Satie. He immersed himself deeply in music and keen to learn combined intense personal study with collaborations, tours, and recordings with artists such as Tom Waits, Beats Antique, and John Vanderslice. In 2010 he moved from the San-Francisco Bay area to the Los Angeles hills and continued his explorations. But great music is rarely just about music and Ford-Young’s meditative, soulful music draws on more than just the twin wellsprings of jazz and classical music
Probably not best served listening whilst driving around, probably should be sat doing summat transcendental. I can see myself chilling in the sun to this and probably will
Nice

I always thought it was Woyaya with a stylised ‘o’…but never owned a copy to check.
Great cover!

You got it already. Have to admit to not being too taken by the 3 tracks I previewed on Tidal at the weekend, what say you?
