Eugene Portman can be hired as a jazz pianist for your wedding in Essex or any other area of the UK. Eugene Portman performs throughout the UK both as a solo jazz pianist and also with his jazz trio. The Eugene Portman Trio consists of Eugene on piano , Dave Trigwell on Drums and Mike Porter Ward on bass. Whether Eugene is performing as a solo pianist or whether he is playing with his trio - you can be assured that the music is going to make a major contribution to your wedding or event. Eugene's style of piano playing is melodic and easy on the ear. His music consists of great tunes played in his own inimitable way and he has the ability to play music that that is just right for the occasion - matching the mood of the event perfectly. 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. As you may have gathered, Eugene's repertoire and style of jazz is not ultra modern and it seems to have a 'feel good' quality that makes it the ideal choice for events and parties. He plays tunes that people know and he adapts them to his own style of piano playing. 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.   Here are some of the venues around Essex where Eugene has performed both with his jazz trio and as a solo pianist: Belvedere (The), Hardings Elms Rd, Crays Hill , Billericay, Essex CM11 2UH Blake Hall Ongar, Essex.
