The pride of the Philippines. My dad used to rave about this guy a lot when I was a kid. My piano teacher thought he was the greatest jazz pianist. He was introduced at a show once as the number 3 ranked jazz pianist in the world. Bobby being Bobby interjected and corrected the host saying, .." excuse me, number one ☝🏼." 😄This guy was a class act. Truly the BEST

All these Cats are top shelf but Bobby takes the cake. When you hear a musician of this caliber it's just breathtaking. Richie nicked named Bobby the Wildman for a reason. There you have it ! Love all his music !

Bobby's loud, raucous, exhibitionistic playing literally using hand chops and elbow jabs was both fun and impressive. But the lyrical side that I didn't think he had I heard and saw when with the late Ely Sayson we dropped by the Calesa Bar in Hyatt Manila on the night of his wife's birthday. He played a short but beautiful melody he had composed especially for her, and I and the audience were completely blown away!!

Jusko...I really enjoyed that "jazzy" juicy rendition. Bobby using the piano as a toy...wooohoooo..what can I say. Just Brilliant.

As a musician of over 50 yrs. all over the us, still one of my fav vids. Anyone that took sax from PHIL WOODS, etc., and can get BOBBY AS BACK UP on keys has lived the dream.

Amazing piano solo.. reminds of Don Pulen so much...

I remember seeing Bobby play Keonis Lewers street Waikiki back in the 70s a true legend

Bobby Enriquez is truly a Hall of Famer in Jazz. There's another Super talented Filipino Jazz keyboardist who's based in the US right now. His name is ROLAND "BOY" KATINDIG. I think Boy K is probably the last of the great Filipino keys player still active right now. Better enjoy his music while his still around making great jazz music.
