André Previn împreună cu toboșarul Shelly Manne și contrabasistul Red Mitchell oferă pe acest album o interpretare jazz a muzicii din musicalul West Side Story. Este o prelucrare instrumentală a melodiilor principale din această operă celebră.
Albumul West Side Story a apărut în 1983 pe CD la casa de discuri Contemporary și cuprinde 8 piese. Înregistrarea nu este o coloană sonoră originală de film sau teatru, ci o viziune jazzistică proprie asupra melodiilor iconice. Printre piesele remarcabile se numără Maria, Tonight, America sau I Feel Pretty.
La album au contribuit André Previn (pian), Shelly Manne (tobe) și Red Mitchell (contrabas).
