Join us for a rare and intimate night with one of America’s most compelling jazz vocalists, Paula West. Celebrated for her lush contralto voice, impeccable phrasing, and fearless interpretations, West is a master of bringing depth and new meaning to every lyric she sings—whether drawing from the Great American Songbook, folk, soul, or lesser-known gems.

Known for her sold-out runs at New York’s Oak Room and Feinstein’s/54 Below, as well as longtime San Francisco residencies, Paula West has built a devoted following through her distinct artistry and refusal to deliver the expected. With her nuanced storytelling and expressive delivery, she creates performances that are both musically rich and emotionally resonant.

Whether reimagining Bob Dylan, Cole Porter, or Duke Ellington, Paula West invites listeners into a world of intimate emotion and refined artistry.
Don’t miss this special evening with one of jazz’s most distinctive voices—live at Meyhouse Jazz.
