Easy Living is a 1986 studio album by Ella Fitzgerald, accompanied by guitarist Joe Pass. Fitzgerald was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance, Female at the 30th Annual Grammy Awards for her performance on this album.[1]
This was the fourth and final album in Fitzgerald's series of duets with Pass, the three earlier albums being Take Love Easy (1973), Fitzgerald and Pass... Again (1976) and Speak Love (1983).
In his AllMusic review, critic Scott Yanow wrote that "her voice was visibly fading, although her charm and sense of swing were still very much present. But this CD is not one of her more significant recordings, other than being one of the final chapters."
