Product description

Oscar Peterson's 1962 studio album, West Side Story, is a masterful jazz interpretation of the iconic film's soundtrack. Recorded over two days in January 1962, in New York City, this album showcases Peterson's trio bringing their unique improvisational skills to seven timeless songs from Leonard Bernstein's score. With tracks such as "Something's Coming", "Somewhere", and "Maria", Peterson's trio retains the sharpness of the original while infusing it with their own brand of cool jazz, bebop, and hard bop.

Released on the Verve label, this 34-minute album is a compelling testament to the trio's ability to blend their distinctive sound with the classic melodies of West Side Story. The result is an album that is both a loving tribute to the original and a bold reimagining of its themes. With its release on 1 January 1962, West Side Story marked an exciting new chapter in Oscar Peterson's illustrious career, and its influence can still be felt today. Featuring a talented trio, led by the incomparable Oscar Peterson, this album is a must-listen for fans of jazz and musical theatre alike.

This 2024 Limited Edition LP is pressed on 180g vinyl.

Sound Stunning Despite Clicks
4 out of 5 stars
Manem-7761July 27, 2024United States🇺🇸
Every now and then, there are clicks and pops, particularly when the record starts (pretty odd for DCC), which dampens the overall experience. Apart from that, the sound is absolutely stunning and unmatched.
1996 Ray Brown Vinyl Gem
5 out of 5 stars
lajnwfawApril 8, 2024United States🇺🇸
In 1996, the ambitious DCC label gave us a fantastic, perhaps underrated, reissue. Believe it or not, audiophiles were already a thing back then! The mastering, cutting, and all-analog equipment shine through, along with a top-notch pressing quality, making this an outstanding vinyl experience. And let's not forget, Ray Brown is phenomenal. Highly recommend, especially at the current bargain prices for such incredible value.
