My Flame Burns Blue

Elvis Costello
Now Toronto

Diana Krall's plus-one sings jazz with a 52-piece orchestra.

You just know that the ever-competitive Costello has been racking his brain trying to come up with a scheme to somehow outdo his chart-topping partner, Diana Krall. So for My Flame Turns Blue he hooked up with the massive Metropole Orkest for a live recording at the North Sea Jazz Festival in 2004. Song selections include Costello faves "Clubland" and "Watching The Detectives" along with Charles Mingus's "Hora Decubitas" and Billy Strayhorn's "Blood Count," for which he wrote his own lyrics. If that isn't impressive enough, he's following it up in May with an as yet untitled recording with New Orleans piano great Allen Toussaint produced by Joe Henry.
