The new disc features a live concert album recorded at The Hague with the Metropole Orkest, the package also includes a bonus disc with a forty-five minute suite from Il Sogno, his first full length orchestral work. My Flame Burns Blue features imaginatively reinvented Costello favorites like "Almost Blue", "Clubland" and "Watching the Detectives" along with Costello compositions seeing release on record for the first time. The album also includes a Charles Mingus composition and a Billy Strayhorn song with Costello's lyrics. Costello is planning a tour for spring 2006, kicking off March 27 in San Francisco. He will collaborate with a local symphony for each performance, which will begin with a suite from "Il Sogno." After an intermission, the musician will return to sing songs from 'My Flame Burns Blue' and others from his catalog with Steve Nieve and the local orchestra. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
