GEOFF EALESAn opportunity to see the skill of this international jazz pianist and composer performing piano styles of Peterson, Garner and Shearing as well as excerpts from his concert “100 years of jazz piano”. Sheer enjoyment is on the cards. Rhythm from Frank Grime and Jimmy Skaife.
"This highly enjoyable event was a well-timed reminder that Geoff is one of the most creative and musically broad minded pianists playing today... he can still show a thing or two to the talented younger players who enrich the current British jazz scene." Bob Weir Jazz Journal International March 2011.
"Welshman Geoff Eales may never have created this masterful music had he remained an accompanist for such wildly diverse stars as Tammy Wynette, Shirley Bassey and Jose Carreras. Jazz is richer for his decision”. John Shand Sydney Morning Herald January 2010.
“Eales has long been a master of the game………” John Fordham The Guardian March 2009.
