The jazz soul revealed in this West Side Story is at once intimate and epic. The music in its simmering intensity, heady romance, tenderness, and virtuosic exuberance more than speaks for itself. Its pleasures are multiple. And it serves as another marker in the already well documented career of flutist extraordinaire Ali Ryerson. More significantly, West Side Story marks the impressive debut of Broadway, a genuinely exciting quartet comprised of the estimable Ryerson, Rex Cadwallader, Mike Asetta and Arti Dixson, whose hand in glove collaborations bear positive witness to Rex’s inspired vision of jazzing up the Great White Way with sass, sophistication and a dash of the sublime!
