Elvis Costello

Studio 360

Elvis Costello has kept his fans on their toes by zig-zagging musically over the last twenty-five years, taking detours into chamber music, jazz and creamy pop. For his latest recording, My Flame Burns Blue, Costello teams up with a Dutch big band called Metropole Orkest. They play new songs and reinterpret old hits like “Watching the Detectives” and “Almost Blue.” Kurt Andersen has been a fan since Costello’s debut in the ’70s and he talks with Elvis Costello about why his aim is always true.
