By The Count Basie Orchestra. Arranged by Frank Foster. Swing. Full score and parts. Published by Jazz Lines Publications (JL.JLP-51218).

Another D-flat blues, but this one's more laid back (as the title might imply). In the pocket tempo, the chart starts the same as the one recorded on Roulette Records, Easin' It from the pen of Frank Foster, but includes additional ensemble choruses not heard on the original recording. Solos for tenor, trombone, and trumpet. Not a difficult chart. For many years facsimile copies of Frank Foster's score and parts were reproduced and published by Walrus Music Publishing. This edition has been carefully prepared and engraved from these parts. Several note errors that were found in the original set of parts have been corrected as well. Articulations and dynamics that reflect the Count Basie Band interpretation have been included so that this arrangement may be faithfully reproduced.

Instrumentation: 2 Alto Saxophones, 2 Tenor Saxophones, Baritone Saxophone, 4 Trumpets, 4 Trombones, Guitar, Piano, Bass, Drums.
