About this album
Live finds Michael Franks and Crossfire refining smooth jazz into a relaxed but polished concert statement. Issued in 1980, the album captures Franks’ cool, conversational singing with a tight band that keeps the jazz-funk groove supple and melodic rather than flashy. His best-known writing is represented by songs such as “The Lady Wants To Know” and “Popsicle Toes”, which show how his wry lyrics and elegant tunes translated naturally to the stage. For listeners drawn to sophisticated late-70s jazz with pop sensibility, this is one of Franks’ key recordings.
