Devotees of superior jazz vocalists have several reasons to rejoice about this fourth CD by the highly respected San Francisco-based Paula West.

Jared Gold: Golden Child
by Dan Bilawsky
A string of enjoyable leader dates and some high profile work in guitarist Dave Stryker's organ-centric groups can be credited for the steady rise in organist Jared Gold's profile. His ability to live within the tradition while simultaneously building upon it has made him one to watch, and his constant and steady growth as a musician/composer ...
Jared Gold: Golden Child
by Mark F. Turner
Jazz organist Jared Gold continues to make his presence known, both in name and sonically.

Jared Gold: All Wrapped Up
by Dan Bilawsky
There's a noticeable change in organist Jared Gold's sonic template of choice, before All Wrapped Up even begins. While two out of Gold's three prior releases were quartet outings that used saxophone as the lone horn voice, all three releases were rooted in the traditional organ trio instrumental format. A different guitarist graced each one of ...
