爵士鋼琴三重奏 (piano trio) 可以說是爵士樂團中最具有代表性的編制之一，這種由鋼琴，低音提琴，鼓組組成的編制對於參與的樂手來說可以說充滿了高度的挑戰性，身為主軸的鋼琴手必須兼顧旋律以及和聲，不管在和聲或是節奏上，必須要能夠主導樂團的走向，因此，如果是能力不夠強的樂手，就會很容易讓整場演奏變成冗長而不知所云，常常是因為鋼琴手的腦海中沒辦法釋放出清楚的訊息，因此低音提琴手跟鼓組只能淪落到提供基本的節奏，而無法作任何音樂上的互動。出生於紐奧良的鋼琴家Bobby West , 繼承了來自爵士發源地的深厚搖擺靈魂。他每個放音的位置，每個節奏與和聲上的詮釋，都可以讓觀眾們清楚的聽到，他要詮釋的「音樂故事」是什麼？ 從他的演奏，觀眾也可以聽到來自歷史上諸多鋼琴大師，如Erroll Garner, Red Garlabd , Sonny Clark等人的音樂影響。 (林煒盛)

還好他選擇了琴鍵 我們有福氣欣賞他的湛妙琴藝 Bobby West was born in Louisiana, the birth place of jazz. His fingers were so long he was told that he’d either be a piano player or a pick pocket. Fortunately for us, he chose the piano. As is often the case of jazz musicians who not supported in their home country of the United States, Bobby left for a lauded career abroad, performing for nearly 3 decades in France (Club New Morning in Paris, one of the oldest jazz clubs in Europe), Germany, the U.K., Portugal, Japan, Dubai, Oman, Zagreb, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Spain, Shanghai and the Netherlands, among others. He now divides his time between living abroad and in his hometown of Los Angeles--performing, recording and creating original compositions of passion, originality and authenticity for which he is known.Bobby performs, records and composes in the genres of jazz, classical, hip-hop, R&B, pop and world music. Despite his teachers admonition, he also performs and composes works in the classical vein--orchestral, symphonic, sonatas and concerti.
