West Side Story is a live album by pianist Earl Hines featuring selections from his solo performance at the 1974 Montreux Jazz Festival which was released on the British Black Lion label.[1]
AllMusic's Scott Yanow noted "Even at that late stage of his career, Hines constantly took chances and came up with surprising and consistently fresh ideas. This set is easily recommended, as are virtually all of his the pianist's unaccompanied solo albums".
