We hear selections from David Robbins' 1999 film score for his brother Tim's movie "Cradle Will Rock." Also, tracks featuring the original 1938 cast from Marc Blitzstein's revolutionary musical by the same name, which inspired the film. Additional highlights include avant-guard composer John Zorn's 2008 "Filmworks" album The Rain Horse (featuring progressive indie cellist Erik Friedlander), and some vintage tracks from pioneer jazz violinist Joe Venuti.

I am listening to the original recording of The Cradle Will Rock on Evening Music. FYI, this was performed by the New Rochelle High School theatre group in summer of 2006 at the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland.
This show is playing at St. Mark's Church on Feb 8th at 3pm.
