Columbia University Center for Jazz Studies in association with Community Works and New Heritage Theatre Group announces the inaugural concerts of the Columbia/Harlem Jazz Project. Often compared with Billie Holiday and Nina Simone, singer Paula West can coax the blues out of any popular song, critics have said. She will be bringing her signature velvety voice and soulful swing to the work of such diverse artists as Duke Ellington, Bob Dylan, and Oscar Brown, Jr. The event will initiate the Columbia/Harlem Jazz Project sponsored by Columbia’s Center for Jazz Studies and the New York State Music Fund. Following the concert, Columbia Professor Farah Jasmine Griffin will interview Ms. West.
