Paul West

Lucky So & So Paul West

In the spirit of some of the great bop/beat influenced jazz singers like Mose Allison & Bob Dorough, Northwest legend and former Los Angeles songsmith Paul West presents an album of his very original songs. Featuring bassist Jeff Johnson, the rarely heard Northwest great Mr. Ford Ramsey on piano, and a couple of beautiful arrangements by trombonist Bill Reichenbach with an all-star L.A. big band, "Lucky..." is alternately swingin', whacky, poignant, and always very personal. Originally released in 2000.
