Oscar Peterson: West Side Story (180g)-LP

Label: Acoustic Sounds, 1962

One of the first Broadway musical scores clearly influenced by jazz was Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story, a story of rival street gangs in the city centre. In 1962, pianist Oscar Peterson put his light swing stamp on the already popular music; one critic wrote that it was "a pleasure to hear it again in this way"; she also brought Peterson a Grammy nomination.
