THE MUSICIANS USED IN THE VARIOUS LINE UPS
Alice Harvey (vocals)
For
the last three years Eugene has worked with Alice Harvey as his main
vocalist, and it was obvious at their first rehearsal that their was
something special happening. Alice possesses an absolutely magical voice
- and knows how to use it to it's full potential. The combination of
Eugene's imaginative and sensitive playing combined with Alices natural
style and original approach leaves audiences begging for more. Alice's
style seems to work well with the larger lineups and is completely at
home with a jazz band behind her.
A
more recent collaboration has been Eugene's musical encounter with Sheila
Daniels. Sheila's musical career was already firmly established before
Eugene came along - but her career is now set to reach dizzying heights.
Sheila is completely at home backed by both solo piano or a jazz band.
Her influences include Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland
and more recently Anita Wardell, Amy Winehouse and Nina Ferro.
Steve Conway has
been singing professionally for the last fifteen years and has sung at
many wedding receptions, private parties and corporate events in Hampshire,
Berkshire, London and other areas of the UK. Steve's style is mostly based
on material from the Rat Pack Era. I must, however, emphasise that Steve
is not a tribute act. His vocal style vocal has been forged from his own
love of the great vocalists of the past which include: Frank Sinatra,
Nat King Cole and Harry Connick Junior. Although Steve has been influenced
by these singers - he pocesses his own distinctive and characteristic
sound.
Michael
Porter-Ward has been a professional musician for many years and plays
both the double bass and the bass guitar. He has been involved in many
genres of music and has worked with many bands, from light orchestras
to heavy rock and ranging from duos, trios, quartets, 6 piece jazz bands
to big bands. His forte and passion is jazz and has played with some
wonderful musicians, including: Harry Connick Jn, Scott Hamilton, Bobby
Scott, Jim Mullen and Acker Bilk to name but a few.
Mike Porter-Ward
Dave Trigwell (drums
Dave
Trigwell is a well seasoned drummer and has worked in many jazz bands
and with many of the big names in jazz. Some of these great jazz musicians
include: Ian Carr's, Jango Bates, Leanne Carroll, Gary Potter, Herbie
Flowers, Terry Callier and Jim Mullen. He also toured Japan twice and
produced CDs on the Polygramme Jazz Label Verve.

Carlos Lopez-Real (sax)

he works predominantly in the jazz field. He enjoys playing in a variety
of styles, from 20's jazz through bebop, fusion and free jazz to salsa
and dance. In addition to jazz, he's inspired by classical composers
such as Debussy, Bartok and John Adams, and classical Indian music.
