Just in time for Nils Landgren’s 60th birthday, the most elaborate project of his remarkable career was released. Featuring music from musicals like “West Side Story” and a lineup that includes his outstanding All-Star Band, over 18 members of the Bochumer Symphoniker, and singer Janis Siegel from the legendary “The Manhattan Transfer,” Landgren, along with conductor and arranger Vince Mendoza, pays tribute to the jazz enthusiast and great composer of the 20th century, Leonard Bernstein.
