The pianist's middle name was "Valentine" and someone could certainly take a nice swim through the French words in the surname of Eddie Bonnemere. This is all quite suitable musically in terms of a playing career that evolved from the church to the cocktail lounge and then went back to the church, inspired by the combination of sentimentality and magic fingers so important to the music scene's prominent jazz-based pianists, Nat King Cole and George Shearing. Bonnemere, who created about ten recordings under his name since the '50s, ventured into Latin jazz in 1953.
