What the critics have said about Paula West
David Wiegand, San Francisco Chronicle, “…the creative spark that Mesterhazy and West have been making for several years is very evident†in their music making.
Steven Holden, The New York Times, she is a “mischievously sexy jazz singer” with a “thick velvety voice” capable of making “the earth move.”
Steven Winn, San Francisco Chronicle, “It’s doubtful that anyone is singing better than Paula West these daysâ€
