Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Eugene Ball (born 12 October 1972) is an Australian jazz music composer and acclaimed trumpeter who won the best Australian jazz composition award for Fool Poet's Portion in 2008. Fool Poet's Portion suite is inspired by Norse mythology with three movements: the Death of Baldr, Trickster's Intent, and the Coming of Christianity. It is performed by the Bennetts Lane Big Band which was put together by Eugene Ball, Andrea Keller and Nick Haywood in 2001 as a large ensemble and as a vehicle for original new work. The work was re-orchestrated and performed at a benefit concert for the Melbourne Jazz Co-op in January 2008.
