with the pianist, humorist and scholar John Eaton

At the piano and in his witty and sagacious comments, John Eaton provides wonderful and unique entertainment. "His playing encompasses the keyboard styles of ragtime, stride piano, swing era and modern jazz." Hollie West, The Washington Post. "Eaton reveals himself to be the complete pianist – a bemused master of just about the whole spectrum of jazz language. His taste, imagination, wit, and I would say wisdom, flow with such naturalness." Nat Hentoff, The Nation. "Surprise is the most constant quality in Mr. Eaton's playing. It is allied with a sensitive and wonderfully logical musical imagination." John Wilson, The New York Times. Music of Gershwin, Ellington, Cole Porter, Hoagy Carmichael.

Steve Novosel performs on bass.
