"When that man is dead and gone" 1941 protest song about Hitler

In 1941, Irving Berlin wrote a powerful protest song about Hitler. It's only been recorded a few times - most memorably by the incredible Al Bowlly (who, tragically, was killed in a Nazi airstrike only 2 weeks after recording it). Our Lizzy & the Triggermen arrangement is by the amazing Dan Barrett (with lots of loving homage to the Bowlly version). We did this in a live take.

Vocal: Lizzy Shaps
Trombone/Arrangement: Dan Barrett
Alto Sax: Nate Ketner
Clarinet: Brian Clancy*
Trumpet: Corey Gemme
Drums: Gareth Price
Bass: Nick Ornelas
Piano: Chris Dawson
Guitar: Luca Pino
Violin: Benedikt Brydern
*subbing for Jim Jedeikin
