2. You're welcome

Joe Jackson is under-rated I think. Just good simple music.

3. "Steppin' Out" is my favorite song from the movie "Flash dance" (1983).

5. Love Joe

I have him in my Top 5 best piano players in the rock era.
Excellent songwriter & wonderful player.
On his first hit, we can barely hear the piano except in the bridge.
So, his terrific skills as a player were largely unnoticed. Even later, when the piano parts were more prominent.

7. Yes he was a verygood pianist

It's pretty prominent in Steppin Out

9. Way Moreso On This One Off The Same Album

The piano work is excellent throughout but the killer solo starts at around 2:40. It's about 2 minutes long because he explores a lot of space. During parts of it, listen to the left hand work of underlying chording. Really good!
