Product Description

A staple of the vaunted 1960's - '70's Seattle jazz and lounge scene, Paul West's piano/vocal styling's graced many popular venues including a 5-year engagement at The Riviera on the shores of Lake Union. Being Alone is West's paean to that magical time when clubs like the Riviera were packed nightly with an amazing blend of Damon Runyon-type characters, all socializing to the sounds of Cole Porter, Ellington, Van Huesen and Irving Berlin. West's take on this classic repertoire also belie his deep involvement in the jazz scene of the time, reflected in his very musical phrasing and advanced harmonic sense. With a gracefully personal and conversant performing style, Being Alone is sure to warm the hearts of many.
