Continued from previous page ELVIS AND BURT A highlight of the tour was the duo's October performance at New York's Radio City Music Hall. Accompanied by a Yamaha CFIIIS, Bacharach and Costello performed new songs from Painted From Memory along with medleys of Bacharach's hits and new arrangements of Costello tunes like Accidents Will Happen and Alison. Twenty years ago the idea of Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello writing and performing together would have been difficult to imagine. Bacharach was the consummate Hollywood hit maker, while Costello symbolized the angry English youth. However, Costello quickly became rock's renaissance man and has delved into such diverse genres as country, soul, and classical, as well as his unique style of rock.   GREAT JAZZ MUSIC ON THE HUDSON DURING SUNNYSIDE JAZZ FESTIVAL Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand piano took center stage last August at the third annual Sunnyside Jazz Festival at Sunnyside, the historic home of Washington Irving, in Tarrytown, NY. The Festival is a popular summer event with its mix of great music including swing, bebop, Brazilian, and modern jazz, and a picturesque outdoor setting overlooking the Hudson River. This year's Festival featured a world class range of new and returning performers including the David "Fathead" Newman Quintet, the Bob Mintzer NY Big Band, the Houston Person Quartet featuring Norman Simmons, the Lou Donaldson Quartet, among many others. New to the Festival this year were jazz history workshops which trace the evolution of the art form for children and those attendees new to jazz. Each evening concluded with Festival jam sessions led by trumpeter and Festival founder and producer Mark Morganelli & The Jazz Forum All-Stars plus special guests. Looking forward, the next Sunnyside Jazz Festival will be held August 28-29, 1999.
