"...a thrilling interpretation of that immortal score,..." - WALL STREET JOURNAL"When I heard Bobby's version my head pretty much exploded because it was really the most ambitious reimagining of the music that I had ever heard " - JAMIE BERNSTEIN
With over 1,000 photos by the legendary photography collective SEIS DEL SUR projected behind the orchestra in sync with the music, Multi-GRAMMY-nominated drummer, composer, arranger and Bronx-born Nuyorican BOBBY SANABRIA reimagines Leonard Bernstein’s iconic West Side Story through the vibrant, pulsing lens of Latin jazz. Performed live by the electrifying Bobby Sanabria MULTIVERSE Big Band, this reworking—captured on the GRAMMY-nominated double CD West Side Story Reimagined, which also won the prestigious Jazz Journalists Association Album of the Year Award—infuses Bernstein’s score with Afro-Caribbean grooves, Puerto Rican bomba and plena, and the fierce swing of New York jazz. With the full support of the Leonard Bernstein estate, this “painfully beautiful” production transforms each note into a powerful call for resilience, cultural pride, and unity.
