SPECTACLE: ELVIS COSTELLO WITH... fuses the best elements of talk and music television and invites viewers to enjoy an intimate conversation between host Costello and his guests, punctuated by rare musical performances by Costello, his guests and a wide variety of musicians. Among the guests for the 13-part series are Sir Elton John, Tony Bennett, Lou Reed, artist-director Julian Schnabel and President Bill Clinton.
Now in his ninth decade, the irrepressible Tony Bennett is not only the steward of the Great American Songbook, but one of the last living connections to it. In this seductive and utterly charming hour, Tony and Elvis discuss with warmth and affection many of the great songs and the colourful people responsible for them. Accompanied by (in TB's estimation) "the finest jazz pianist today", Bill Charlap, Tony sings (beautifully) several classics, and pulls a very special surprise guest from the audience for a spontaneous and irresistible duet.
