4.0 out of 5 stars What is this thing called magic ?, September 19, 2003

By	Wolfgang Schalk (Hoboken, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

Bass virtuoso Andy McKee's "One World" gives us an answer to this profound and often debated question. I liked it when Quincy Jones once said something to the effect of, "When my hairs start rising on my hands, then I know this is real."

One man - one idea
one idea - one philosophy
two ears - one sound
two eyes - one picture
three corner - one triangle
three pictures - one creator
four people - one group
four people - one thought
five elements - one origin
five continents - "One World"

Who else could say it better than Jack Walrath (album liner note):
"This CD is the evidence of a man's life, his experiences, philosophy and goals. In an area where more is more and a thing's worth is judged by its monetary value, it is refreshing to experience something original that can beat the current cultural mentality at its own game. The concept of One World is timeless..a statement of pure emotional honesty that comes from the heart, and an example of art that is crafted with form and content...I listen to thousands of records of all kinds of music. Needless to say, many I hear only once. But Andy McKee // One World is one CD that I kept coming back to."

5.0 out of 5 stars just what the doctor ordered, September 7, 2003

By	Marcie Chanin (Montclair, NJ) - See all my reviews

One World by bassist Andy McKee is just what the doctor ordered...prescribed to heal the heart in a world that is crying out for unity. One World is enjoyable music that is intelligent, without being pretentious, and diverse without being forced. It is original music that moves and inspires. A must...

By	Carol Sutton (Honeybrook, PA USA) - See all my reviews

Listening to this CD is exciting. Regardless of where YOU are, this music experience takes you to places you don't anticipate. The diverse rythms, instruments, and yes, even voices surrounding Andy McKee's bass take you on a journey from contemplative to fun and frivilous. Each time I listen to this CD something totally unexpected and interesting comes to my mind's eye, drawing me back to listen again. A must have for any collection!
