A little about the bandThe Eugene Portman Trio was formed in 2004 and has performed extensively in Kent, Sussex, Surrey, London and throughout UK. Eugene Portman was already firmly established as a jazz pianist and was touring extensively with the wonderful jazz vocalist Alice Harvey. He was also appearing up and down both in jazz bands and as a solo performer. Having been requested on numerous occasions to put a trio together for various events he eventually began to use the same musicians nearly all the time. So the Eugene Portman Trio was formed and consists of Eugene Portman from Lingfield, Surrey (on piano); Dave Trigwell from East Grinsted, Sussex on drums and Mike Porter-Ward from Faversham, Kent on bass. The Eugene Portman Trio grew from a need for jazz that wasn't too high-brow, but consisted of great tunes. A style of music that would have a more general appeal than most contemporary jazz bands. Influences having been the classic jazz trios of Dudley Moore, Oscar Peterson and Monty Alexander. These influences combined with a an innovative creativity and a certain "feel good" quality" have been instrumental in making the trio highly suitable for corporate events, weddings and private parties. The music can be mellow at times and exciting when the mood calls for it. Apart from the great music that they produce; they also project a feeling of sheer joy. The fact that they are the best of friends seems to be self evident in their music. How far will they travel?There isn't really any restriction on how far the trio will travel. They are permanently travelling throughout the UK so if they have an event in Cumbria then it wouldn't be far to travel to Lancashire for a wedding on the following day. Most of there work comes from the following counties: Essex Kent Sussex Surrey Hampshire London Essex Suffolk Berkshire Hertfordshire Buckinghamshire Bedfordshire
