来自西雅图的钢琴家——John Boswell 约翰·博斯韦尔——带给我们的钢琴是一种全新的听觉，完全不同于 Kevin Kern 的柔情似水，细细绵绵。给我的感觉是清冽和硬性的，犹如敲击在铁片上的清脆，干净利落。从他指尖流泻而出的钢琴琴音蕴染着古典的典雅，编织着隽永的旋律；流露着细腻的人文气息；没有过多的聆赏负担，也不适合太多的文字描绘。

As the son of two professional musicians, John Boswell grew up in a richly musical and artistic environment. This developed into an interest in musical theater which began in high school and blossomed during his years at U.C.L.A., where he wrote a musical with actor Tim Robbins. Boswell continued on this track after graduation, working on Broadway productions of The Secret Garden and Liza! and the L.A. productions of Berlin to Broadway With Kurt Weill and The Beautiful Lady. He also served as music director for such notables as Judy Collins and Bob Newhart, and composed music for TV shows like General Hospital and Santa Barbara.

Boswell explored the more personal side of his music by performing in the vocal trio Wiseguys and through refined, emotional instrumental albums like The Painter and Kindred Spirits, both recorded for the small, short-lived Scarlet record label. The small but passionate following these records inspired brought him to the attention of the Hearts of Space label, who released 1992s Count Me In and the holiday album Festival of the Heart; subsequently, the label re-released his prior works. Trust followed in 1998, with Love appearing a year later.
