Paula West has been thrilling national and international audiences with her heartfelt
renditions of well-known standards and unique interpretations of contemporary and jazz
compositions.
In Paula’s hands, the Great American songbook has never sounded so captivating. Her affinity for Bob Dylan and other contemporary balladeers
demonstrates her “refusal to be bound by categories,” according to The New York
Times. The young San Francisco-based vocalist arrived on the New York music scene in
1995 and since then has enjoyed annual sold-out Oak Room engagements and the
attention of international festival and record producers. In 2005 and 2006 Paula won
the New York Nightlife Award for “Outstanding Female Jazz Vocalist,” having shared
the award with Dianne Reeves in 2004. Her recordings include Restless, Temptation
and Come What May.
