With her rich, powerful contralto, Paula West is the finest jazz-cabaret singer around, declares Jazztimes, and who are we to argue? The cabaret-style artist brings style and nuance to jazz-pop standards and the likes of Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Lou Reed and Johnny Cash.
Ms. West has performed predominantly in clubs in San Francisco and New York — her nights at the Algonquin Hotel’s famed Oak Room earned her three straight New York Magazine Nightlife Awards as “Outstanding Female Jazz Vocalist.”
Sunday, March 5. 3 p.m. $35-$50. Vintage House, 140 E. Napa St.
