Was kommt dabei heraus, wenn man Jazz, Folk und Rock vermengt, eine Prise New Wave, Punk Rock, Country, Soul und Klassik dazu gibt und das Ganze über drei Jahrzehnte reifen lässt? Die Antwort lautet: Declan Patrick Aloysius MacManus, besser bekannt als Elvis Costello.
Angefangen als Mitglied von Bands wie »Flip City« und den »Mothertruckers« – damals noch unter dem Namen DP Costello – führte ihn sein Weg über eine Vielzahl namhafter Orchester-, Ballett- und Opernproduktionen von England über Amerika nach Italien, Deutschland, Frankreich und Russland. Von 2008 bis 2010 übernahm der Songwriter, Komponist und Produzent außerdem die Moderation einer eigenen TV-Show »Elvis Costello with…«, in der er Musiker wie Sir Elton John, Lou Reed oder The Police interviewte.
Einen Namen machte sich Costello schließlich auch durch seine Mitarbeit an großen Filmproduktionen wie »The Big Lebowski«, »Notting Hill« oder auch »Austin Powers 2«. Für den Soundtrack von »Unterwegs nach Cold Mountain« steuerte er den Song »The Scarlet Tide« bei, der ihm 2004 sogar eine Oscar-Nominierung einbrachte.
Gemeinsam mit seiner Ehefrau, der kanadischen Produzentin, Songwriterin, Jazzpianistin und Sängerin Diana Krall, schrieb er 2004 die Songs für ihr »The Girl In The Other Room«, das elf Wochen lang den ersten Platz in den kanadischen Charts belegte und in Amerika Goldstatus erlangte.
