JASON BROCK is a singer and actor who was a top 12 finalist on the X-Factor USA (Season 2). He’s also a four-time recipient of the Bay Area Reporter’s “Best Male Cabaret Singer” award. Jason has released several singles and music videos throughout his career. He’s been seen in many Japanese and American TV shows, films and commercials. Jason is currently performing live in San Francisco and beyond.
PAULA WEST is an American jazz and cabaret singer known for her rich, powerful contralto voice and for her highly nuanced interpretations of an extraordinarily eclectic selection of songs that range from the Great American songbook to reinterpretations of songs by artists such as Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Lou Reed and Johnny Cash.
Ms. West has performed predominantly in clubs in SF and NY with additional performances in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and select European cities. She has also performed at Lincoln Center with Wynton Marsalis, The White House, and Maison de la Musique in Paris as well as at numerous jazz festivals, including: the Monterey Jazz Festival, Spoleto Festival, Rochester Jazz Festival, San Jose Jazz Fest, Big Sur Jazz Festival, Los Gatos Jazz on The Plazz, Yerba Buena Gardens Festival, and the Fillmore Street Jazz Festival.
Her collaboration with noted pianist/arranger George Mesterhazy (who accompanied the late Jazz great Shirley Horn) was lauded in the NY Times, as “a match made in pop-jazz heaven” (Stephen Holden, NY Times, October 22, 2007).
Ms. West has recorded four albums (three studio and one live), including: Temptation (1997), Restless (1999), Come What May (2001), and Live at Jazz Standard (2012). In February 2013, Ms. West traveled to NY to appear with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra to perform in Blood on the Fields for which he won a Pulitzer Prize.
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 (SF), SFJAZZ, and Jazz at Lincoln Center
