Jazz Trio Okonski Drop Latest Single, “Easy”

Written and drilled over countless soundchecks and rehearsals for a myriad of different bands, Okonski’s latest instrumental single, “Easy,” initially seemed to exist as a sort of secret instrumental track for a fictitious hip-hop album that was never released.

It starts lazily, the piano floating around the drums and bass. A big staircase of sound emerges as the piano gradually steps down into an isolated drum beat. The track finishes with an almost hopeful coda, a shout chorus with the single note on the Hammond swelling to the climactic ending.

Okonski comments:

“This track harkens back to late nights walking around the city without any real place to go. With no real purpose or destination in mind, but ending up right where you were supposed to be.”

This liberated Okonski track features Steve Okonski on keys, Aaron Frazer on drums, and Michael Montgomery on bass.

Okonski’s new digital single “Easy” is out now via Colemine Records.
