Eugene's style of piano playing is melodic and easy to listen to. His music consists of great tunes played in an original way and he has the ability to play music that that is just right for the occasion. His influences are many but his main ones are Oscar Peterson, George Shearing, Erroll Garner, Monty Alexander and the Dudley Moore Trio. He doesn't just mimic these musicians but he uses these influences to create a style of playing that is unique. What makes Eugene so different from most other jazz pianists is his ability to play solo. Many pianists sound great when they are playing in a band but they seem to crumble when they have to play solo. Eugene mostly plays the great jazz standards from "The Great American Song Book" - but Eugene was classically trained so he can also play classical music. This makes him the ideal choice for wedding as he can play classical music for the ceremony, lively up tempo jazz for the drinks reception and a more layed back bluesy jazz during the meal. Eugene can provide a digital piano for venues where there is no piano or where music is needed in moe than one location (i.e a wedding). All the MP3s on his site were recorded on the digital piano that he would bring to the event. So his website at http://www.the-pianist.co.uk is well worth a visit.  Eugene Portman can be hired as a solo jazz pianist and with his trio for any wedding, party or corporate event around Derbyshire and other areas of the UK. Here are some of the venues in Derbyshire where Eugene has performed both with his trio and as a solo jazz pianist: Breadsall Priory, Moor Road, Morley, Nr.
