Janette West

West is a first-rate swinger with the gusto of Ernestine Anderson and the warmth of Natalie Cole. She fronts a dynamic quartet performing dynamic jazz improv with soulful R&B influences. Carol Banks Weber of AXS wrote of Janette, “All audiences notice is West’s easy way with the lyrics, the music and with them, the rich, lustrous undertones of an alto that can wrap around any song – Jazz standard, R&B, Latin- and make it swing.”
