His trio has recorded three discs to date and received airplay across the U.S. and Canada. The Los Angeles Times says the Ron Kobayashi Trio are “superb jazz stylists.” Their latest disc, "No Preservatives" (Carpet Cat Records) was described as a “five star session from three of the Southland’s finest” by the LA Jazz Scene. The Orange County Register wrote: “If you define jazz as spontaneity, emotional expression and communication among musicians, you won’t find anything better than “No Preservatives.” In 1996, the trio was voted "Best Jazz Group in Orange County" by readers of the Orange County Weekly. In 2012, the Ron Kobayashi Trio was nominated for "Best Jazz" at the Orange County Music Awards.
