One of the highlights for me this year was seeing Brian backing Wolfgang Muthspiel at Whelans here in Dublin last winter. Brian did'nt look too enthralled to be playing in such a tiny venue, and maybe the damp weather was not to his liking. Still, this did'nt stop him playing a blinder and, let's be frank, stealing the show.

So, have any of you jazzheads had the time to evaluate this fine album? As a Elvis Costello fan I'd be curious to read your impressions.

Personally, I like it a lot, it's a real grower. The playing all round is appears understated at first, but its simplicity hides all kinds of nuances. It certainly is causing a huge division amongst his fans. one either gets it, like me, or ahtes it.

I agree with this view. It's shot in digital which takes a bit of adjusting. The SARS outbreaks give the film a whole extra flavour, which I obviously did'nt have when I saw it here last autumn. The cast is good, Cillian Murphy shows promise, Chris Eccleston is brilliant as always.
