Bobby Lyle presented a powerful presence on the keys during his set with Ndugu Chancler, Alphonso Johnson, and Craig T. Cooper at the 30th Annual Long Beach Jazz Festival on Saturday, August 12, 2017. One could see the joy and passion on Lyle’s face during performance. He tickled the ivory of the electric keyboard, then switched over to the acoustic piano and maintaining a masterful technique on both.
A veteran of the music industry for 40 years, Bobby Lyle has amassed a prolific discography of jazz music. He has traveled all over the world performing musical directing for legends Bette Midler, Al Jarreau, Anita Baker, and more. He now heads his own ensembles and plans to head up his own jazz series in Houston titled Bobby Lyle Presents.
