Synopsis by Mark Deming

Jazz pianist Dave Grusin is joined by artists from the worlds of jazz (Bill Evans, Michael Brecker, Lee Ritenour) and Latin music (Gloria Estefan, on Secada) -- as well as one virtuoso trumpeter who embraces both styles, Arturo Sandoval -- for this performance of songs from the famed musical by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim. Selections include "Maria," "The Jets Song," "Somewhere," "I Feel Pretty," "America," and five others. This is an audio-only DVD, encoded in the DTS Digital Surround process, and is designed to take advantage of the superior audio capabilities of the DVD medium.
