About Me

Brian Eaton is a multifaceted musician & composer, as well as an engineer & producer. He
serves as the playlist curator (he does NOT write album reviews) and occasional
graphics guy at All About Jazz, where he takes a hands-on approach to bring jazz music
lovers the AAJ Spotify playlist, Jazz Menagerie: a captivating mix of songs spanning the many
styles and periods of jazz... from emerging artists to established stars to icons.
As an Allegra Drums Artist, Brian has been honing his drum skills since the age of
nine. Growing up in a musical family inspired his passion for the art as he was
surrounded by jazz and progressive rock. In college, Eaton continued to
follow his passion and studied music theory, composition, and jazz piano.
In the early 90s, Brian opened his recording studio and indie label, Eatin’ Records, in
Chicago. Over the years, he has played in several original bands, along with his
solo projects while producing/recording a multitude of artists, including jazz saxophonist
Frank Catalano, Usurper, Dave Uhrich, Eaton’s band North (with over 45K Pandora
radio spins to date), and T.D. Clark (Dee Snider guitarist), who toured with Bad Company and
Ted Nugent, while promoting his debut Eatin’ release, Personalities. Other credits include
recording/producing the soundtrack for the Robin Hood Stunt Show (Time Warner
Entertainment) at Six Flags Theme Park St. Louis and recording/producing several tracks from
the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for Carnivore.
In the face of the digital shift and the downfall of physical and download sales in the
music industry, playlist curation is one way Eaton's label has adapted to the
transforming landscape. You can learn more at EatinRecords.com.
