Oscar Peterson- West Side Story - Limited 180-Gram Vinyl with Bonus Track

180-Gram Virgin Vinyl Limited Edition - * Down Beat. West Side Story was a bit of an unusual session for several reasons. First, the popularity of both the Broadway musical and the film version that followed meant that there were many records being made of it's music. Second, rather than woodshed on the selections prior to entering the studio, the Oscar Peterson Trio spontaneously created impressions of the musical's themes on the spot. This album didn't follow the usual practice of the Oscar Peterson Trio, consisting of polishing the tunes during live performances before taking them into the studio. Oscar Peterson (piano); Ray Brown (bass); Ed Thigpen (drums). THE COMPLETE ALBUM + 1 BONUS TRACK - 180-gram VIRGIN VINYL - LIMITED EDITION - * Down Beat
