American Idol, where he recently performed with Lady Gaga. Bay Area native and musical prodigy Taylor Eigsti returns home to present the world premiere of his new work for jazz piano and orchestra.

Jazz vocalist Paula West, known for her heartfelt renditions of well-known standards and unique interpretations of dynamic jazz songs, will delight us with a set backed by the orchestra.
