Live at Brooklyn Bowl

Today we bring you video captured by OkayPlayer of Elvis Costello & The Roots at Live at the Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn,NY on September 16, 2013. The entire show can be streamed via Fordham University Public Radio (HERE).

The Roots and Elvis Costello have a collaborative LP Wise Up Ghost. The project, described by ?uestlove as “a moody, brooding affair” full of “cathartic rhythms and dissonant lullabies” is slated to dropped this fall via Blue Note. ?uestolove first hinted at the record’s existence in an interview with Billboard in January. The project – detailed by ?uestlove during a recent interview with Fuse TV – was recorded during super secret sessions at Feliz Habitat Studios. The remaining material was produced at Elvis Costello’s Hookery Crookery Studios. ?uestlove and Elvis Costello teamed with Steve Mandel to round out the production. There is also a guest appearance from La Marisoul of Los Angeles based group La Santa Cecilia. The record features a tight collection of tracks whittled down to 13 or 14 from about 20 recordings – a process ?uestlove summed up by saying, “I went stark and dark on the music, Elvis went HAM on some ole Ezra Pound shit.” Originally distributed on Record Store Day by way of a small batch of white label test pressings, Wise Up Ghost was released to the public on September 17th.
