Editorial Reviews

Digitally remastered and expanded 30th Anniversary edition of this 1979 Jazz classic. Bob James and Earl Klugh's highly lucid, beautifully restrained One On One album helped pave the way for the so-called Smooth Jazz phenomenon of the 1980s and '90s. This edition of the Grammy award-winning, million-selling album includes two bonus tracks and in-depth sleevenotes and interviews with Bob James and Earl Klugh. Salvo. 2009. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars 1 on 1 gets an A+, January 11, 2000

These two artists together are powerful. The combination of James smooth keyboard with the ultra soft guitar of Earl Klugh make this cd magic. Bassist Ron Carter is featured throughout the recording and is first rate on my favorite cut Mallorca. Bob James arrangements on this recording make the difference. (Hard to imagine from a guy who looks like a middle school guidance counselor.) Aside from the cd being too short, the only criticism I have is why didn't they get together sooner. I sent back their cd Two of a kind. Check out Bob James & Earl Klugh on Cool as they get together again with impressive results.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best smooth jazz CD's ever, August 9, 1999

I am surprised that no-one has commented on this gem of a CD. I have been a jazz fan for 20 years, and with the new focus on 'smooth jazz', I am amazed that this CD has not a resurgence in popularity. Oh well, anyway, it is fantastic - I think of it more as a staple in one's jazz collection. If you don't have it, GET IT NOW! These guys are vets of jazz, and they put down some of the greatest here - check out their other ones (James/Klugh) as well - they are great - but I guess I felt that the magic was in this one as opposed to the other (very good mind you) CD's.

This is one of the finest jazz albums of all times Bob James and Earl Klugh are magical together. I owned the album and have had the CD for years. I also reccommend COOL.
