Several years ago we saw Joe Jackson in concert (I think I’ve seen him in concert more than any other big artist) and he did arguably his biggest hit, Steppin’ Out from his album Night and Day, giving it a very slow, ethereal treatment. He explained that that’s how the song was originally written, not as the pulsing, bass-driven, pseudo-disco song that was released. It immediately captivated me.
I’ve done the song that way in my solo shows, and decided it was time to flesh it out with my own arrangement.
Once again this song makes extensive use of ToonTrack EZKeys 2 and EZDrummer 3.
