Review
An American collection balancing the best tracks from his first two albums, Easy Is a Four Letter Word proves that, fused with the right jungle beats, easy-listening lounge jazz can be very challenging listening. Portions of the record feature saxophone, flute, and double bass parts that were recorded live. ~ Steve Huey, All Music GuideTracks
