I have been a fan of Paul Desmond ever since I discovered him in college in the early '60's.Like most of his fans I first heard of and listened to Desmond as part of Dave Brubeck's groups and then I followed up with some of his own work. Easy Living is vintage Desmond, I found "Easy Living" while in search of a particular song that I had as an instumental which was part of a 5 disc tribute. When Joanna Loved Me typifies the material in Easy Living, the materiel is smooth and soft as only Desmond can make it. I've got shelves of discs and tapes,but "Easy Living" is always within reach!
