Eugene PortmanEugene Portman has had quite a varied career which has encompassed classical work as well as jazz. He is in great demand as a solo jazz pianist but he also has a great talent as an accompanist. His patience and understanding brings out the best in any vocalist he works with. Eugene playing has been influenced by the likes of George Shearing, Oscar Peterson, Monty Alexander and Dudley Moore, so his playing tends not to be too high-brow and makes the ideal accompaniment to Alice's voice. |
