Joe Jackson (born David Ian Jackson, 11 August 1954, Burton upon
Trent, Staffordshire) is an English musician and singer-songwriter.
Along with Elvis Costello and Graham Parker, Jackson was a part of the
trio of English artists who challenged the punk scene and brought a New
Wave sound to the United States in the late 1970s.
Big World is a 1986 live album by Joe Jackson. The album was recorded in front of an invited audience at the Roundabout Theatre in New York City on 22–25 January 1986. Jackson's intent was to capture the excitement and spontaneity of a live performance, but without any noise from the crowd. The audience remained silent during the recording as per Jackson's request, so we do not hear any applause.
