Heaven & Hell (Joe Jackson album)

Heaven & Hell is the 13th studio album by Joe Jackson, a musical interpretation and song cycle representing the seven deadly sins. It was released in the US on 2 September 1997 and in the UK on 29 September 1997.

Billed to Joe Jackson & Friends; the friends included vocalists Dawn Upshaw ("Angel (Lust)"), Joy Askew ("Tuzla (Avarice)"), Suzanne Vega ("Angel (Lust)"), Brad Roberts from the Crash Test Dummies ("Passacaglia/A Bud and a Slice (Sloth)"), Jane Siberry ("The Bridge (Envy)"); and violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg ("Prelude", "Fugue 2/Song of Daedalus (Pride)").

This album was subsequently performed on tour with Jackson on piano, accordion and melodica, Valerie Vigoda on violin and vocals, and Elise Morris on keyboards, glockenspiel and vocals. The drums were programmed with the exception of "Right (Anger)" - which had drummers Dan Hickey and Kenny Aronoff drumming on opposite speakers through most of the song, and Jared Crawford of the musical Stomp playing plastic buckets in Times Square during the bridge.

"Angel (Lust)" and "Passacaglia - A Bud And A Slice (Sloth)" were issued from the album as promotional singles in the US and Europe. Both were released to target adult album alternative radio.
