Verve Records will release a soundtrack album for the biographical comedy drama Saturday Night. The album features the film’s original score written and recorded live on set by Academy Award and Grammy Award winner Jon Batiste (Soul, American Symphony). The soundtrack will be released digitally tomorrow, September 27. The streaming/download link will be added to this page soon. Saturday Night is co-written and directed by Jason Reitman and stars Gabriel LaBelle, Rachel Sennott, Cory Michael Smith, Ella Hunt, Dylan O’Brien, Lamorne Morris, Emily Fairn, Matt Wood, Finn Wolfhard, Nicholas Braun, Cooper Hoffman, Kim Matula, Andrew Barth Feldman, Willem Dafoe, Kaia Gerber, Tommy Dewey, Matthew Rhys and J.K. Simmons. The movie is based on the true story of what happened behind the scenes in the 90 minutes leading up to the first broadcast of Saturday Night Live on October 11, 1975, when a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television – and culture – forever. The dramedy premiered at this year’s Telluride Film Festival and is being released in Los Angeles and New York tomorrow by Sony Pictures before expanding nationwide on October 11.
