Editorial Reviews The idea of The Easy Club was to explore new possibilities in Scottish music, by bringing in influences from more modern music such as jazz and early pop. The band saw that traditional musicians were inevitably influenced in some way by the culture of their own era. The Easy Club were happy to embrace modern styles and ideas, because this is the way that traditions develop naturally. It’s actually unnatural, in their opinion, to try to play music in a ‘historical’ manner, as this usually results in a fossilised, ‘heritage’ culture instead of on that is living and breathing. The band found that they could bring Scottish music and swing rhythms together very successfully, in a way that sounded completely natural. They even found a quotation from the Duke Ellington, who apparently said that "There are only two types of music – jazz and Scottish music." The Easy Club went on to develop its signature style of ultra-swingy Scottish traditional music.
About the Artist
Easy Club was formed by four musicians who had been playing together in Edinburgh’s legendary folk pub, Sandy Bell’s Bar in 1982. The Easy Club name comes from an eighteenth century Edinburgh drinking club which had been opposed to the union between Scotland and England.
