An ambitious work that combines Rollins' increasingly mature playing with the electric texture unique to the late '70s.
This album is characterized by a sound approach that incorporates the atmosphere of the times while still respecting the traditions of acoustic jazz.
Starting with the title track "Easy Living," Rollins weaves together standards and original compositions, delivering free-flowing, large-scale improvisations. While his powerful tenor voice remains strong, his phrasing exudes a sense of ease and playfulness, exuding the dignity of a veteran. The rhythm section is also solid, supporting the groovy, sophisticated sound.
