Pianistul André Previn și colaboratorii săi, bateristul Shelly Manne și contrabsistul Red Mitchell, formează un trio jazz cunoscut pentru abordarea neconvențională a melodiilor clasice din muzica populară americană.
Compilația West Side Story din 1983 a fost lansată de casa de discuri Contemporary pe CD într-o carcasă din plastic. Albumul conține 8 interpretări jazz ale principalelor piese din celebrul musical de pe Broadway al lui Leonard Bernstein — nu înregistrarea cu distribuția originală sau coloana sonoră a filmului, ci prelucrări instrumentale ale temelor. Printre piese se numără Maria, Tonight, America și Something's Coming.
