Clara Rockmore and Paul Robeson

The greatest theremin player ever, Clara Rockmore, did two or three concert tours with Paul Robeson in the very early 1940s. (It seems Rockmore was as far ahead of her time in racial politics as she was in music technology). Recordings of them performing together would be sensational, but it seems there aren't any - at least, the theremin community hasn't found them. Anybody know better?

Yes it is - thanks a million Keb
I have a recording of him at Peekskill with Pete Seeger and Howard Fast - along with the digitised book, if anybody would like them
I'm told he kissed me on the forehead when he visited Liverpool, but I must have been either too young or too drunk to remember

A cursory glance at YouTube seems to provide that there are lots of each but none of both.
