A –George & Glen Miller / Easing
B –The Millers / Easing (Version)
Soundway Records presents the official vinyl release of
George & Glen Miller”Ēs 1979 hit ”ČEasing”É - encapsulating late
70s New York in its blend of disco, soul and Caribbean soca.
Restored, remastered and cut loud for the dancefloor, the
12Ӄ single features the original vocal on the A-side and the
essential instrumental on the flip.
The Miller brothers”Ē musical journey began in Trinidad
and Tobago in the early 70s. During their teenage years
they formed The Groovy Millers - a five piece band made
up of George, Glen and their three siblings. After a chance
meeting with Lord Shorty, they went on to collaborate with
one of the Soca stars of the time and firmly plant their feet in
the Soca scene of the musically rich Caribbean island.
Of the five siblings it was George and Glen that pursued a
career in music, and in the late 70s the two brothers made
the move to North America to develop their music style.
Disco dominated the airwaves at the time and a studio
session with the prolific Frankie McIntosh resulted in the
masterpiece that is Easing. Drawing influence from the
blossoming disco and soul scene, George and Glen added
Caribbean flavour to the New York sound to startling effect.
Soft, subtle keys and guitars are punctuated with layered
trumpet and violin riffs, complimenting George”Ēs silken,
restrained vocal. Frankie McIntosh”Ēs arrangement shines
through with what might be his finest work, placing this track
on the mantle with other New York classics of the time.
