<title>Alice Harvey - jazz band Leicestershire - wedding/party/event</title>
<description>Jazz band&#160;Leicestershire for any wedding, event or party.
Alice Harvey is available with her Jazz band in&#160;Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire,&#160;Derbyshire, Staffordshire and other areas of the UK.Alice Harvey has a voice that is second to none and she really knows how to put a song across to an audience. Her singing is reminiscent of the great jazz singers of the past but her style remains original. Her main influences are Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Peggy Lee and Nina Simone but she is also influenced by some of the more contemporary singers such as: Amy Winehouse, Norah Jone, and Diana Krall. Although Alice is influenced by these singers - her style remains unique. Alice Harvey&#39;s career in the music business has blossomed since her chance meeting and collaboration with jazz pianist Eugene Portman. They not only&#160;do events&#160;in&#160;Leicestershire - but they will cover the entire UK. They frequently perform at weddings, private parties and corporate events in various line ups ranging from the duo format right up to a jazz band. The duo is quite simply Alice on vocals and Eugene Portman on piano but this line up is frequently augmented. So the biggest line up is a five piece jazz band, which will certainly make your event an event to be remembered.If you do book&#160;Alice and her jazz band for an event or party - they&#160;can provide recorded music during&#160;their breaks.&#160;This can really take the pressure off you by providing a full evenings entertainment rather than leaving big gaps without any music.Please visit Alice&#39;s site at http://www.the-jazz-singer.co.uk

<title>Pianist Leicestershire-jazz for-weddings/events-Eugene Portman</title>
<description>Eugene Portman is available as a jazz pianist in&#160;Leicestershire and other areas of the UK.

Eugene&#39;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&#39;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 &quot;The Great American Song Book&quot; - 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.
&#160;Eugene Portman can be hired as a solo jazz pianist and with his trio for any wedding, party or corporate event around&#160;Leicestershire and other areas of the UK.

Here are just a few of the venues in&#160;Leicestershire where Eugene has performed both with his trio and as a solo jazz pianist:






Athena, Rutland Street, Leicester, Leicestershire LE1 1SA

Shearsby Bath, Bruntingthorpe Road, Shearsby, Leicestershire, LE17 6PP

Whatton House, Near Kegworth, Loughborough, Leicestershire LE12 5BG 
Dont forget... 

Eugene can perform as a jazz pianist in&#160;Leicestershire and other areas of the UK.
