"Eaton is one in a million among playing tunes of the 20's, 30's,40's, and early 50's. He plays every tune lovinglyin a straight forward way.To me that is giving the composer of the tune credit in knowing how his/her tune should be played Most jazz artists today play the first few notes as written--after which they take off into a world their oun leaving the listener hanging inthe air. Eaton also at the end of the disk gives a short talk about the composers of the tunes he has just played. that puts the icing on the cake."
