It's a shame that this album seems to have gone unnoticed in the flood of re-released "Original Jazz Classics"

I discovered this disc by accident in my High School radio room. The Timmons Trio has the tightest of grooves here, with some really hip arrangements. The title track is worthy of a "best of OJC" compilation.

This is a great trio in the range of Ahmad Jamal, Red Garland, Tommy Flannagan, but just slightly edgier.

Bobby Timmons, who will eternally be tied to Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, had a great trio. They could swing with the best of them. Like the other reviewer mentioned, I, too, find it strange that not many people have checked his work out and in particular "Easy Does It." Timmons is joined by Sam Jones on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums. This trio is very tight, but flexible, that never fails but to delight the listener. Jazz fans take notice one of the greats of jazz piano. Highly recommended.

Simply an excellent album, probably as good as any that Timmons produced, which is saying something. This trio with Sam Jones and Jimmy Cobb is utterly delightful and first-rate. Tremendously fun and inventive rhythm section backing up a piano player of the same ilk. Loaded with personality. Get it!
