The Tenth Inning, a new two-part, four-hour documentary by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick that picks up where Burns's landmark 1994 series Baseball left off, will air on PBS stations across the United States on Tuesday September 28 and Wednesday September 29, 2010, 8-10 PM ET. Burns will appear on The Late Show with David Letterman to discuss the new film tonight on CBS; he recently spoke about the series with New York public television station Thirteen in an interview now featured on thirteen.org.
The original Baseball soundtrack recording was released on Nonesuch back in 1994 and is available now as high-quality MP3s in the Nonesuch Store. It will be available once more on CD there and in stores across the country starting Tuesday, September 21. The soundtrack features music by Natalie Cole, Dr. John, Bruce Hornsby, Branford Marsalis, and Carly Simon, as well as vintage recordings, historic radio calls, and the solo piano playing of Jacqueline Schwab. From "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" to "Hurrah for the National Game," Schwab's instrumental interludes weave an ongoing emotional thread through the film.
The Tenth Inning tells the tumultuous story of America's national pastime from the early 1990s to the present day, introducing an unforgettable array of players, teams and fans, celebrating the game's resilience and enduring appeal, and showcasing both extraordinary accomplishments—and devastating losses and disappointments.
