Oneness

Amazon.com
The pan flute often brings up images of late night commercials flogging hits by Gheorghe Zamfir, whose undeniable virtuosity was too often marred by his taste for kitsch. Judging by his interpretation of a theme from Tchaikovsky¹s Swan Lake, the Berklee-educated Damian Draghici may have more in common with his predecessor than just nationality (Romanian) and choice of instrument. However, the remaining tracks are extremely varied, ranging from new age pastiches complete with an Enya-esque soprano, to synth-and-beat-laden trance/lounge conceits, to world music-influenced works, one of which sounds like a cross between Pink Floyd and late-career Milton Nascimento. The personnel includes Michael Brook (producer, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan), Cameroonian bassist/singer Richard Bona, percussionist Louis Conte, and bassist Ibrahim Laborial. These are great talents and interesting ideas do emerge from time to time. But the incessant conceptual flux and lack of unifying chemistry between the selections make for an exhausting listen. --Christina Roden

Product Description

A must have!!.......2007-07-15

If you are a Santana fan, a music fan or a guitar enthusiast Oneness is a must have for your collection! It is truly Carlos unleashed. Enjoy!

A Hidden Treasure.......2007-03-21

I had come across this album on lp in the Bargin Bin back around 1981 and, taking a chance, found it to be a pleasant surprise. I had not known of its release a few years earlier and found the music to be a bit different from earlier Santana releases. But it was a music which would grow upon a listener with each spin on the turn table. Although credited to Devaip Carlos Santana, it features many of his regular band musicians at the time. The cuts don't seem to have as much percussion as earlier Santana albums, but Carlos Santana's guitar, Tom Coster's keyboards and Greg Walker's vocals provide audio verification that it is a Santana endeavor. As mentioned by other reviewers, it is an excursion into jazz, but it is pure Santana nonetheless and it doesn't disappoint. Even Sri Chinmoy's short spoken poems are a good fit into the overall experience and appear to aid in the flow of the music without causing disruption.

I don't think you'll find any of the songs from Oneness on any of the Santana compilation albums and, this fact, coupled with lasting memories of this album finally convinced me to seek out the cd and acquire a new copy.

A perfect fit among his best recordings.......2007-02-26

Released in 1979, Onesess is Carlos Santana's first solo album.
Although CS was not sure which musical style to follow; Fusion Jazz which he really loved, heavily inspired by John McLaughlin; His great basic Latin Rock sound; or the new Pop Rock trend. Onesess came up as a combination of all three styles reflecting the puzzled period; this artist was living in; yet a great album, perfectly picturing what a great musician and guitarist Carlos Santana was.
This album fits perfectly among his best recordings, making it highly recommended to any old Santana fan, or to any Fusion Latin Rock music lover.
Some Other highly recommended CD titles for this great artist:
1. Santana
2. Abraxas
3. Santana III
4. Love Devotion and Surrender
5. Carlos Santana and Buddy Miles
6. Caravanserai

Oneness - Santana at his best.......2006-08-26

Released in Australia on vinyl, but never on CD, this has to be one of the best Santana Albums ever. I think that this album was a special project for Calos and he put his heart and soul into the performance. A collection of eclectic tracks culminating in the Oneness track itsself. The way the guitar work ebs and flows is a special delight, especially when listening through high quality headphones. A must for any Santana fan!

ONENESS: One of Two.......2006-08-01

Thought it might be fun to mention: this CD contains one of the two (in my opinion) greatest vocal-free guitar solos by Carlos Santana. It is the title track, #10: ONENESS. This, along with EUROPA from the first "Moonflower" CD...are the two greatest vocal-free Santana guitar solos, in my opinion. Moonflower CD #2, by the way, has (in my opinion) the best performance of SOUL SACRIFICE as well. Overall, my favorite "live" Santana collection is (selected tracks from) LOTUS; and coming in an extremely close second is the live CD from the legacy edition of Santana III: the final Filmore West concert.

Really Neat!.......2007-04-10

This is my first Gordon purchase, and I really liked it. It is very relaxing music - good for meditation, yoga or just chilling. I like to listen to it when I'm relaxing in a nice, bubble bath. What makes this different from other CD's is that the music itself is interesting enough to make it more than just relaxing background music. I don't know how else to describe it, but I really enjoy this CD!!

Wonderful music to relax to!.......2006-11-03

As a Massage Therapist, I really enjoy working with this music in my office. It not only helps my client to relax, it helps me to focus on the work at hand. It's very soothing with the water sounds and wind instruments.

Oneness Brings Inner Peace into Perspective.......2002-10-03

With the overwhelming popularity of their more recent "native-influenced" titles, such as the critically acclaimed Sacred Earth Drums, Sacred Spirit Drums and Drum Medicine, the older classic ambient titles from the Gordon's early Inner Music Series, tend to get overlooked. This is unfortunate in that these titles, and specifically Oneness, create an incredibly rich soundscape tapestry perfect for relaxation and meditation. The Gordon's masterfully weave these synthesizer laden tracks with Tibetian temple bells, Chinese wind chimes, tamboura and silver flute which effectively guides the listener into the deepest realms of blissful inner peace ! This is a great piece of work that shouldn't be overlooked !

Album Description

Strut continue their re-issue program of the '70s catalogue with Oneness Of Juju, one of the most groundbreaking bands of their time. From early avant-garde jazz work on the Strata East label to their later fusions of Afrobeat, funk and spritual jazz, Oneness stand as a huge influence for today's jazz scene. Released in 1976, The African Rhythms album is Oneness Of Juju's masterpieces. Bandleader J. Plunky Branch had moved back to his hometown of Richmond, Virginia from New York and introduced R&B, funk and African percussion into his music to appeal to the local market. Topped by the soaring vocals of Jackie Holoman-Lewis, the Oneness sound became a tight, supremely soulful outfit. Includes the bonus tracks 'Liberation Dues' (instrumental) & 'African Rhythms' (45 version). 2002.

Worth a review!.......2006-07-14

I was amazed none of the Santana-followers took the effort to review this album. Released in 1979, it must be his last of the seventies. And, surely compared to the music he made in the following decade, it's a good one.
Santana is still under the influence of Sri Chinmoy, who introduces the first track by way of meditating. Well, rest assured: it could have been worse. This moody opening gradually takes on a jazzier or funkier rhythm, with songs that sound fresh and sparkling (Jim Jeannie, Transformation Day, Cry Of The Wilderness, Free As The Morning Sun), haunting (Oneness) and even downright kitsch (Silver Dreams). The guitarplaying may be trademark Santana, but it never becomes the routinejob Carlos displays on many albums following this one. Better still: the master is - with the exception of the boring accoustic track Golden Dawn - in top shape!

The playbill should read: Got to Be Phunky starring Plunky as James Brown and Maceo; vocal sensation Tonya Lazenby-Jackson as Rosie Gaines and the late Phyllis Hyman; bassist P.

Understated.......2003-07-29

I listened to this CD several times when I first purchased it and nothing moved me. After a few years I have just revisited this very understated and controlled series of mood pieces and now things are jelling and the total package is sinking in. For me the CD begins at "Priestesses Of The Mist" - a contemplative and atmospheric piece that slowly builds, then subsides. "Jack In" shows DeJohnette's skills to the max; this is the fastest paced and most syncopated cut; the use of space to shape the lines by Michael Cain can sometimes be frustrating. "From the Heart" shows the group improvising through many melodies and working over several themes, again without "raising its voice." This CD takes time to get used to; I would advise you stick with it and it will grow on you. One has to accept this for what it is --- a compiliation of improv works, very exacting and deep in mood, but nonetheless rewarding for those who play it more than once or twice.

Textural Possibilities.......1999-10-30

 

 

Jack deJohnette- Oneness (ECM 1637)

The things I like most about this record are the percussion playing of Don Alias, plus the minimalist piano tinkerings of Michael Caine. DeJohnette himself is a great drummer, and so he should be. He has done the rounds of super groups many times over by now, and on this release explores textural possibilities aplenty. Everything sounds crisp and pristine. That's ECM for you. I believe that the group itself is fairly new, this being their second release on ECM, but between they have played with anyone who is anyone. But is this jazz? It all comes across as fairly down tempo and introspective, almost late night . Listening to some of this material reminds me of some of the excursions into musical spirituality that someone like Charles Lloyd has explored on previous ECM releases. That same sense of introspection, quietness though it's not as affective as Charles Lloyd would have it. Admittedly DeJohnette covers different territories as well. A track like Priestess Of The MInd with its windy atmospherics and mandala like opening, never really gets off the ground for me.This could have been an interesting track but in the end goes nowhere.

 

Worthy CD.......1999-10-10

Lots of space, and wonderful improvisation make this a very good CD. After many listenings it has really sunk in. At first I found it a little disconcerting, but after some late night driving with this in the CD player - I think I finally have comne to understand what's going on.

My only regret is this CD could have been a 5 star for me. But it's not. Why? Because I wish Paul Bley had been on piano. He really knows how to use space. Mike Cain is good, but Bley would really have elevated this to superb. Still, A wonderful effort!

This is Jack's best solo recording........1998-08-24

Free wheeling spiritual improvisatorial jazz that doesn't conform to the standard rules. Great drums and percussion (Jack and Don Alias) plus piano playing that uses space well and is angular and thought provoking. I loved this CD and love re-listening to it. The theory behind "Oneness" is that the band improvises as a unit, not as individuals, and that concept works.
