Elvis Costello's latest 2025 soundboard recording and HDTV broadcast footage are now available on a CD-R + Blu-ray BD-R 2-disc set! Costello performed at the "JAZZTAGE 2025" jazz festival held in Leverkusen, Germany on November 5, 2025, collaborating with the WDR Big Band, operated by German broadcaster WDR. He showcased his signature songs in a classic jazz style with an authentic big band. The CD contains stereo soundboard audio from the broadcast. While the audio is two tracks shorter than the setlist, it includes 11 tracks (three more than the video) in high-quality sound. The Blu-ray disc contains 8 tracks in full HD pro-shot video. This collector's edition couples Elvis Costello's special live performance, a new style he experimented with, in the highest quality audio and video.
