Here's a page out of the book of the next gig I'm doing. Anyone want to hazard a guess as to the title?

Hot Cross Buns?
One a-penny, two a-penny, Hot Cross Buns.

West Side Story. 1st two bars of Ex.2 gives it away.

It's got to be something jazz or traditional or a musical. I can see the pizzicato and arco instructions for double-bass.

I don't know the tune though.

Cool from "West Side Story". I've done this show 3 times. Nice to see the music finally in printed form instead of handwritten copy.

I knew #2 would give it away. LOL It's printed because it's a "Reduced Instrumentation" version...I think it's scored for 8-9 players instead of a full orchestra. This is my second go-around with WSS.

The first excerpt is the first page of "Mambo."
