The Easy Way (Jimmy Giuffre album)

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

[1][2] 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".

[3] 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".
