Coming Home
For his fifth album as leader, jazz piano virtuoso Geoff Eales returns to his beloved trio format for his debut on 33 Records. Joined by his regular team of Roy Babbington on bass and Mark Fletcher at the drums, the CD serves up a potent mixture of stunning originals and imaginatively re-worked standards. "as original as they come, listening to everyone but beholden to no single influence, Eales demands your attention with the force of his musical personality and keeps it with his musicianship"
Bud Kopman ( Cadence )
Geoff Eales is one of the UK's most exciting and eclectic musicians. A PhD graduate from Cardiff University and former member of the BBC Big Band, Geoff became one of the most sought-after pianists on the London studio scene in the 80's and 90's, working with a huge array of conductors, composers and singers including Henry Mancini, Lalo Schifrin, Jerry Goldsmith, Nelson Riddle, Billy May, Rosemary Clooney, Adelaide Hall, Kiri Te Kanawa, Jose Carreras and Lesley Garrett.
