As the presidential election looms, the artist JazzTimes calls “the finest jazz-cabaret singer around” brings her exploration of the political moods of America through the years back for a timely encore, focusing on the songs of Simon and Garfunkel, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, and Woody Guthrie.

The San Francisco jazz treasure is not the kind of singer who uses her voice like an instrument, improvising long scat solos. West prefers to work around the edges of a melody, stretching a word here or clipping a phrase there so that each piece sounds as if it was written with her voice in mind.
