Title: Simply amazing...one of the all time best CDs
Review: I already love the soundtrack to West Side Story, and the thought of redoing it never even crossed my mind. Then I saw Oscar Peterson in concert in Oakland, CA at Yoshis and being caught up in the moment after the show I bought this CD. It is simply one of the greatest CDs of all time. Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, and Ed Thigpen bring new life to a soundtrack that didn't even need "new life," but it is simply amazing. If you like jazz at all and/or like West Side Story this is a MUST buy. Oscar Peterson does not let down and brushes those keys with such feeling that it will take you aback. He is truly one of the last living "greats" and everyone needs to buy this CD. Like a previous review said...the only negative about this album is that America was not included but that's alright. Even if you're not into jazz, after listening to this...you just might be.
Is the review positive or negative?
