About this album

One On One is a polished and influential meeting between keyboardist Bob James and guitarist Earl Klugh. Released in 1979, the album blends jazz-funk groove with airy contemporary jazz, balancing James’s elegant arrangements and synth textures with Klugh’s nimble acoustic guitar. The partnership gave the record a warm, late-night feel without losing rhythmic focus, and it helped define the smoother end of late-1970s jazz crossover. Highlights such as Kari and Mallorca show how both players could keep the music sophisticated while remaining immediately accessible. For listeners exploring the polished side of contemporary jazz, it remains a key collaboration.
