“For her first ever concert in Los Angeles, U.K.-based songstress Jessie Ware delivered a sharp, precise sampling of material from her acclaimed debut album “Devotion.” With ticket demand necessitating a last-minute venue upgrade from the Bootleg Bar to the adjacent, 450-capacity Bootleg Theater, Ware and her three-piece backing band enjoyed a surprisingly fervent response from the typically cool Echo Park audience. Oftentimes tastemaking showcases like Ware’s are dulled by a deluge of bored music industry acolytes, but Thursday evening’s performance was refreshingly filled with earnest fans who cheered and sang along to nearly every track…
