Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1979, Jazz, Smooth Jazz, Marshall / Detroit
Matrix #: BL 36241
Condition: EX (LM)
Cultural Facts:
-
Personal Struggle Bob James came out of strict classical training and had to force his way into jazz before the crossover years made that move look easy.
-
Studio Lore This was a stripped-down duet record, not a big fusion blowout. The piano-guitar format gave both players less room to hide and more room to shape the album themselves.
-
Media Narrative One On One won the Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Performance, helping turn polished late-70s jazz into a serious commercial lane, not just background music.
