An ambitious work of jazz classics reinterpreted from a classic musical
A unique arrangement that highlights Andre Previn's intelligence and sense
"West Side Story" is a musical composed by Bernstein, arranged and performed by Andre Previn, who is well versed in both classical and jazz music, with a new perspective. Unlike traditional stage productions, he freely changes the rhythm and harmony, resulting in a finished product with the tension and space that only an instrumental can have. While respecting the melody of the original work, this is a truly reconstructed "West Side" that exudes his own artistic quality. This is an album that is worth listening to, with an intellectual approach that is appealing.
