Imagine being the bass sax player and you turn the page and this SICK bass line is staring you in the face, ff. Omg.

Lovely how this is a bluesy mishmash of the Jet Song themes.

[@manuelgimferrer]

The the guys in the studio booth were like: "It wasn't together in bar 78" And Bernstein is like: "Whaaaaat? That's impossible... That's impossible, I never heard anything so together IN MY LIFE!!!"

Where was the piano in Dance at the Gym. That jazzy number I didn't hear enough of the piano.

[@moldyoldie7888]

IMO the piano didn't sound "in sync," probably because he couldn't hear the rest of the rhythm section.

[@buckgreen6028]

How did Johnny Green, musical supervisor for the 1961 film version of "West Side Story", get Bernstein's music to sound so more vibrant and majestic than this?😃

[@HelloooThere]

Interesting how the guys in the booth think they know better than the guy who wrote it….smh
