First released in 1974, One is jazz keyboardist Bob James' first album for CTI, produced by Creed Taylor and recorded at Van Gelder Studio. With Steve Gadd and Idris Muhammad on drums, Grover Washington Jr. on saxophone and Gary King on bass, it is a lush, adventurous jazz-funk record that helped lay the groundwork for smooth jazz. Its closer, Nautilus, became one of the most sampled tracks in hip-hop history. Elsewhere, In the Garden and Night on Bald Mountain turn classical pieces funky, and Soulero builds a bolero into something beautiful.
