 And now for something completely different. Well different from the Albam version I posted a couple of weeks ago. C'mon you know these songs and these versions are driving and exciting, and that's no lie.

1. Prologue
2. Something's Coming
3. Maria
4. America
5. Tonight
6. Cool
7. I Feel Pretty
8. Officer Krupke
9. Taunting Scene
10. Somewhere - Finale.

Thanks for your wonder Stan Kenton West Side Story offering. Kenton was a genius. Somehow we don't get that too much today. His version of this mdic is so exciting and vibrant. Keep 'em coming. I enjoy all your great choices. Let's revise that big band era.

Love Kenton takes on popular music, especially show tunes. And I lost my copy of this ages ago. Thanks!

Stan Kenton was easy on the ears but w/o sounding too cheesy ala Lawrence "Wild Man" Welk.

Thank you for posting this! I'm glad I found it before the link expired.
