NILS LANDGREN | Trombone JÖRG ACHIM KELLER | Arrangements, Conductor hr-Bigband / Frankfurt Radio Big Band hr-Sendesaal, Thursday 07 July 2022 #NilsLandgren #westsidestory #hrbigband It is the story of two youth gangs in 1950s New York who fight for supremacy in their neighborhood. The conflict, the poor conditions and the frustration about this lead to entanglements that end as a tragedy. The fact that “West Side Story“ became one of the most famous musicals in history is due to its literary model “Romeo and Juliet“ and above all to the music of Leonard Bernstein. Bernstein is considered a border crosser between classical, modern and the jazz of his time. With his version for large jazz orchestra, arrangeur Jörg Achim Keller has written Bernstein's music for the Swedish trombonist and singer Nils Landgren and the Frankfurt Radio Big Band. __________________________________________________________ Das neue Format der hr-Bigband
