Directed by Ray Foley
Celebrated musician and producer Joe Jackson releases his latest endeavour 'What A Racket!'. The album is a vibrant revival of long-lost artist Max Champion and transports listeners to the lively world of Music Hall tradition.
Fans, captivated by the enigmatic Max Champion, have been speculating and researching for weeks and months. This short documentary now finally sheds light on the early 20th century artist from England.
'What A Racket!' presents eleven of Max Champion’s songs for the first time in more than a century. According to producer Joe Jackson, ‘These were wonderful songs in their time, but they’re surprisingly modern, too. Sometimes it’s almost as if Max is speaking, from his London of the early 20th century, directly to us in the early 21st.’

I will follow Joe Jackson to any musical place he takes us! He is a true chameleon and I am so happy that he is introducing us to the talent of Max Champion!!! What A Racket!

[@michaellamneck2116]

Love it, great historical background! British musicians like Freddie Mercury, Paul McCartney, and others introduced me to music hall style compositions. I'm intrigued to hear this new album!

1. This is an answer album to Mary Lee Kortes' BEULAH ROWLEY which JJ worked on.
2. As mentioned in another comment, BISHOP & ACTRESS answers to SUNDAY PAPERS
3. SHADES OF NIGHT sounds like the strolling of ON THE STREET WHERE SHE LIVES from the musical MY FAIR LADY wherein Eliza's father was played by a music hall star.
Tom Carradine who appears in this documentary covered WOULDN'T IT BE LOVELY also from MY FAIR LADY.

[@dcinsc7]

So is Max a real person or a character created by Joe Jackson? Is this like a “Spinal Tap” thing?

[@danstar455]

Max is his alter ego!
