Easy Walker is a fairly standard but highly enjoyable small-group
soul-jazz session from Stanley Turrentine. Backed by a rhythm section of
pianist McCoy Tyner, drummer Mickey Roker, and bassist Bob Cranshaw,
Turrentine turns in a number of rich, round, and full-bodied leads which
are perfectly complemented by Tyner's strutting, sympathetic piano.
Largely divided between midtempo grooves and slow blues, with a couple
of pop covers like "What the World Needs Now Is Love," thrown in, Easy
Walker doesn't offer much challenging material, but it does let the
musicians work a good groove, and occasionally showcase their
improvisational skills, making it a good, relaxing soul-jazz session.
The 1997 CD reissue features four bonus tracks which were recorded with
drummer Billy Cobham and bassist Gene Taylor, along with Tyner; the
highlight of these is a breezy version of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Wave."
