Track Notes

1,3,6-12 In Spring 2009 Elvis recorded another edition of Piano Jazz with Marian McPartland. On this occasion Elvis guest hosted and interviewed Marian. Elvis sang track 1 then played and discussed the other tracks.

2 Played twice in 2011 solo.
4 Brand new discovery and addition to this volume. A snippet was performed in Nagoya 1994. 

5 Played once with Diana Krall in Santiago de Compostela in 2010. Elvis recently recorded the track for “Boardwalk Empire Vol. 2 OST.”

13 Performed at a Mose Allison tribute in New York 2010.

14 Brief bit of crowd banter when a spinner named Lydia appeared on stage during The Revolver Tour in 2011.

15 Elvis performed this in a guest appearance during Diana Krall’s set at Santiago de Compostela in 2010.

16 A few bars of this were played during “My Three Sons” in some 2009 Brodsky Quartet concerts.

17 I’ve lost my reference for this now. Perhaps it was the inspiration for "From Sulphur to Sugarcane".

18 Another song that Elvis had originally performed in 1975 that appeared in some 2010 Sugarcanes sets.

19 This song has featured as a snippet during “National Ransom” on 6 occasions.

20 A unique performance performed at Cascais with The Sugarcanes at the end of their 2010 European Tour.

21-22 Featured regularly in a medley at the end of “Alison” from 2010
