	<description><![CDATA[&nbsp;    Eugene Portman on piano - The life and times of a freelance jazz pianist  This is an online diary about my life as a jazz pianist in the UK. I don't give details of every single gig that I do - I just select the ones that are interesting for whatever reason. I hope that it will be a source of amusement and inspiration for any music lover or musician. It's not really about work: but my life.     ]]></description>
