about

One begins as a moody, rubato ballad, before easing into a broad 3/4, with Maclean weaving serpentine lines freely and evocatively around a brief Herbie Hancock statement on "music as connection", before the band returns to the opening rubato for Brownman's dark reiteration of the main theme. This track is very clearly an homage to Hancock's 'Little One' featured on the 1966 release Maiden Voyage, one of his most prominent albums. Broadly speaking One follows a very similar form and aesthetic but with an identity of its own. This performance is a very different offering from the rest of the record and showcases the depth and breadth this group is capable of.
