This album captures a magical evening at the 2004 North Sea Jazz Festival and brings together songs and arrangements this uniquely versatile musician has developed in a decade of collaboration with chamber groups, jazz big bands and symphony orchestras. Costello is accompanied here by the Metropolis Orkest, a unique hybrid of jazz big-band and classical orchestra, who have performed with many of the greatest names in jazz.
