Paula West Trio Performs at Your Home

Yours can be the most unforgettable event of the year with your own private concert with American jazz and cabaret singer Paula West performing at your home (or at a host's home) with her pianist and bassist.

Ms. West has been praised for her willingness to creatively re-imagine the standards that she does perform, and an eagerness to identify worthy songs not usually found within the jazz/cabaret repertoire. Ms. West currently performs at jazz venues around the country and has recurring engagements at Feinstein's at The Nikko Hotel, SFJazz, and Jazz at Lincoln Center, and, for a limited time, your place!
