Grab your shades and hop on, because “Easy Strides” just rolled in like golden hour on two wheels: a breezy contemporary jazz groove blending smooth acoustic rhythm guitar warmth with funky undertones, where a vibing flute and octave guitar melodies dance over shimmering Rhodes, soulful vocal choruses glide like ocean waves, and a laid-back pocket rhythm pulls you into an effortless coastal cruise.

Think sun-dappled bike paths, cycling-rhythm percussion carrying you right into the moment—“By the tides… step outside… enjoy the ride… these are easy strides.” Pure feel-good fusion for your playlist. 🌅🚲


Written by Gary Santo-Pietro (GSP) with adds by Soundtracks to Life, who also handled production & arrangement—still blown away by this incredible crew:

  • GSP weaving that warm acoustic heartbeat

  • Me (Eric Evans) on flute, Rhodes, arrangement & production

  • David Eugene Ivey delivering soulful vocals, B3 solo, co-producer

  • Phil Johnson slinging electric guitar, keys, co-producer & mastering

  • Eric Valentine locking the pocket like only he can

  • Eddie Ramirez with that warm, grooving bass + solo

  • Martin Neil adding cycling-rhythm percussion magic

  • Jonathan Mouton layering lush background vocals

  • Mixed to buttery perfection by the legendary Larry Reed.

Cover art: A stunning original painting by Caryn Crawford—stare at it and you’re already riding that sunset path.
