One for the ages!

I'm not a big fan of so-called smooth jazz, however, this album transcends the genre as far as I'm concerned. It's just simply great music and a great jazz album, period. Besides, any jazz musician will probably tell you that these tunes are a bit more complicated than they sound. Beautifully written, orchestrated, and played. One for the ages.

An Excellent Duo

It was a great thing whenever Bob James & Earl Klugh would team up. Apart, they both tended to get a little too crazy. Together, they played off of each other so well and brought out the best. Their's was a true collaberation of their best points. People might very well be dismissive of this album, as well as their work together, but it is a great treat to be able to see the results of their work.

Don't Understand

I really don't understand some people. If you don't like something then you don't like it. The type of misic you listen to should not put all other music in a category that makes it less than anything else. I really get tired of elitist jazz critics putting all other forms of music in the garbage because it wasn't written back in the '50s or '60s and played by Miles or Coltrane. Let music be music and if you don't like don't listen to it. BTW, I have all earl Klugh's albums and CDs.

Thanks a lot...

We are sorry, but this album can't be part of your eMusic "paid" membership - at this time, in your country. Yeah, right.

satisfying

I know, sophisticated listeners aren't supposed to like pop-jazz like this, but this record is still quite pleasing and satisfying. After all, that is Ron Carter on bass...

Hot on the heels of his commercial breakthrough Touchdown, which contained the monster hit “Angela (Theme from Taxi),” Bob James teamed up with acoustic guitarist Earl Klugh for the first of two hit duet albums. One on One is not strictly a duet side, however. The pair is accompanied by a band of crack studio types that includes James’ former CTI mates acoustic bassist Ron Carter and drummer Harvey Mason and a host of others as well as string and woodwinds sections. The fare is light, breezy, and barely there in places. Out of these sessions came “The Afterglow,” which lit up the charts right after “Angela” did, making James the hottest jazz commodity on the scene. – Thom Jurek
