Title: Easy Living Artist: Paul Desmond Label: Speakers Corner Product Type: VINYL LP UPC: 4260019715661 Genre: Jazz Release Date: 2026-09-04 Number of Discs: 1 Additional Details: 180 GRAM VINYL, REISSUE
The eight numbers on "Easy Living" constitute the height of Desmond's career anyway after he had at last managed to take his leave from Dave Brubeck's group. And the change from purely chordal playing and single notes from Jim Hall is more airy and more inspiring than the meaty piano clusters of his former boss. And don't forget either that half of the Modern Jazz Quartet, namely the bassist Percy Heath and the drummer Connie Kay, deliver an exquisite skeletal structure over which the musicians can improvise brilliantly. 180 gram.
