Costello's back in arthouse mode, taking a swingin' if bloodless wander through some lavish re-arrangements of his back catalogue ("Clubland" gets a lush cha-cha; "Watching the Detectives" is recast as a noir soundtrack and so on) while backed by Dutch jazz ensemble the Metropole Orkest in front of a festival audience at the Hague — just the place to remind what a clever clogs he can be.
