Nice and Easy (album)


Nice and Easy is the third album led by American jazz vibraphonist Johnny Lytle which was recorded in 1962 for the Jazzland label.

Reception

The Allmusic site awarded the album 4½ stars stating "Nice and Easy is a mellow and heavily bop-influenced set fairly far removed from his usual blues-tinged funk... The results are a welcome change of pace from Lytle's often frenetic and occasionally too-busy style, and the ballad-heavy selection is a nice balance of new tunes and a few familiar standards. Overall, this could well be Johnny Lytle's best set".
