Paul goes behind the curtain with the multi-talented jazz artist Bryan Eng. Bryan grew up on the east coast but found his musical grounding at Northwestern University and Chicago where he worked as a street musician, performer at Marriot Lincolnshire, Lookingglass Theatre, and Drury Lane and went on to the great venues of Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, Birdland Jazz Club and Ford’s Theater; even a stint on Broadway in Plaza Suite with Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker, and today works as the youngest in residence performer at the Caryle in New York City. Bryan is a jazz musician, composer, orchestrator, arranger and film/stage actor. A pianist, guitar player and amazing vocalist…he does it all solo, with his trio, sextet and more.
