Here is what people are saying about the Stan Kenton - Kenton's West Side Story

"Great Kenton, but not true to Bernstein's score"	2008-10-30
- Reviewed By User: A2ANRCP62QJIDK
If you want to hear Lenny Bernstein's score played as he composed it, this is not the CD to listen to. However, if you are a fan of big band swing music in general and Stan Kenton in particular, you will enjoy listening to this CD. Kenton's version of West Side Story is a free interpretation; arrangements, phrasing, and rhythms are altered to fit Kenton's exotic style. For example, the prologue from the opening scene is played with a relaxed shuffle beat, not the tense syncopated rhythms and phrasing that Bernstein intended. One does not tamper with a work of a genius without incurring the risk of degrading it. Fortunately, in this case, Kenton can be forgiven, because this is his band at its best. My favorite track on this CD is Cool, a free interpretation which swings and rocks the rafters. I can listen to it again and again. Another hard-swinging track is Something's Coming. Perhaps the world needed a refreshing new interpretation of West Side Story in 1961, when this CD was recorded. However, a half century after Lenny Bernstein composed his masterpiece, the listener may prefer to hear the music as the composer intended it to be played.

"Kenton West Side Story"	2008-06-28

Excellent replacement for my long since worn out LP It certainly ranks up there with the best of Kenton recordings

"Best brass section ever..."	2008-06-24
- Reviewed By User: A184JHV9YQPOIX
This is an absolutely stunning album. If you are "into" high-register trumpet playing, your jaw will be on the floor after the first shake in the Prologue. And then you realize that it was just a small, throwaway taste of what they can do. All the band sections are incredibly tight, including the trombones, saxes and drums, but it is the trumpets and mellophoniums that set the virtuoso standard for big-band jazz. Listen to the perfect pitch and the soulfulness of the mellophones in "Maria"...check out the mind-blowing extended shakes in "Cool"...the breakneck speed of "I Feel Pretty"...the way that, maybe to show off, the band twice covers a 4-octave rise at the end of "Officer Krupke." Folks, if you like your big band brass loud, fast, high, and difficult, this is the virtuoso pinnacle. The album benefits tremendously from the consistency of adapting a single musical work. Unlike many jazz arrangements, which keep only the chord changes after the melody is stated, this is always recognizably Bernstein - except even more muscular and hyped-up, and with space enough for some inspired solos. I consider Cuban Fire the greatest Kenton album (also arranged by Johny Richards), and the early '50s Kenton's bands, with some all-time soloists, as the best set of years for any big band - but Kenton's West Side Story is the most stunning, "I can't believe I just heard that" of his albums.

"A Winner!"	2007-09-18
- Reviewed By User: A3KAD7PVUP24A6
This album received a Grammy Award in 1961 for the best big band jazz recording of the year. The producers of the motion picture of the same title, commented when they heard Johnny Richard's arrangements: "We had no idea. If only we'd known!". It's that good and would have definitely fitted well into the youth-based story.

"An album that will never get old"	2004-09-30
- Reviewed By User: A1K6J1VWVQI8XK
Kenton's arrangements in this particular album are among my favorites from his repertoire. While we've all heard Berstein's West Side Story tracks numerous times I'm sure (and if you haven't, they're certainly wonderful in and of themselves!), Kenton's interpretations are full of vibrant emotion. No matter how many times I listen to this album, each time brings out some of the most lavish flavors I've heard from a big band. Throughout the CD, you'll find yourself on a rollercoaster of mellows and climaxes that somehow makes the transitions so smooth you'll listen to it over and over....and over.....and over...

"Never cool anymore."	2002-10-09
- Reviewed By toppy44
When I bought this record in 1965 my father said he would kill me if I played that record again. But I kept playing it over and over again. Only our neighbours didn't liked this record. The mellophonium section is 5 stars. Arrangements 5.5 stars and the whole band is heavenly. I still have the original Lp in MONO and Stereo and the Cd version. It's a shame Stan Kenton didn't lived untill he was 90.
