The Easy Way (album)

The Easy Way is an album by American jazz composer and arranger Jimmy Giuffre which was released on the Verve label in 1959.

Reception

Ken Dryden of Allmusic states: "Jimmy Giuffre's small-group recordings of the late '50s and early '60s are renowned for his lyrical tone and intimate chamber jazz settings". On All About Jazz Joshua Weiner wrote "The almost psychic interplay here between Giuffre and Hall is typical of the 3, but Brown is a real surprise. He sounds glad to be liberated from the relative stricture of Oscar Peterson's trio, fitting seamlessly into Giuffre's conception while still providing a strong, swinging pulse".
