Foxtrot Potpourri

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
"Mack the Knife" aside, Weill's "Foxtrot Potpourri" is one of the most frequently heard excerpts from his famous collaboration with Berthold Brecht, "The Threepenny Opera." We hear it in a lively dance band arrangement from H.K. Gruber and the Palast Orchestra, included on the 2001 album Kurt Weill: Life, Love, & Laughter.
