2020 Stereophile Magazine Record to Die For!

By the time Andre Previn, Shelly Manne & Red Mitchell recorded this album in 1959, they had set the standard for jazz versions of show and movie scores. West Side Story is not merely one of the group's best show tune albums, it is one of their finest albums, categories aside!

This album is not a masterpiece. André Previn was an astonishing polymath (Oscar-winning film composer; conductor of major symphony orchestras; badass pianist), but he was not a jazz innovator. He was an irresistible popularizer and entertainer. His ecstatic versions of eight Leonard Bernstein songs swing like crazy. (Shelly Manne and Red Mitchell, of course, also kick ass.) Previn is even more seductive when he slows down and goes all rapt, like on 'Tonight' and 'Maria.' The sound is by the great Roy DuNann. This recording is available in several formats on several labels. Spring for the JVC XRCD if you can find one.
