East/West Collective was started in the beginning of 2012. The original instrumentation consisted of drums, piano, and trumpet. After the group’s trumpet player moved to the US, Matt Fullen (piano) and Weichung (drums) asked Shih-Chun Lee (guitar) to join them. They focused on having a bass-less trio, opting for more freedom and a lighter texture. After a year of playing together, they decided to add bass to create a more full sound, choosing a bassist (Chih-Yang Hsieh) specifically for his ability to read subtle musical situations and match the dynamic of the group. E/WC plays almost solely original music, but does occasionally rework jazz standards using its own aesthetic.
