Pianist/Composer Bobby West
The World Stage4317 - 4331 Degnan Boulevard, Los Angeles 90008
Pianist and composer Bobby West is billed for this November date at The World Stage.
Originally from Louisiana and raised in South Central Los Angeles, West has worked between Los Angeles and engagements in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. His playing and writing move across jazz, classical, hip-hop, R&B, pop and world music; All About Jazz describes his original compositions as marked by “passion, originality and authenticity.”
The World Stage offers a unique experience as a dedicated space for jazz and African American cultural expression in Leimert Park. Founded by jazz drummer Billy Higgins and poet Kamau Daáood, it serves as both a performance venue and an educational hub, where you can catch live jazz concerts featuring both established and emerging artists. The room is a modest gallery-style space that encourages attentive listening, with a focus on the music rather than distractions like alcohol, which is not served here. Shows often include workshops and open jam sessions, fostering a community spirit rooted in artistic growth and cultural heritage. Expect a night where the music takes center focus, surrounded by walls that echo decades of creative history and community dedication.
