O.N.E. - Well, actually… [CD]

The third album from Polish acoustic jazz quartet O.N.E. Grounded in the spirit of democracy and collective improvisation, the album offers a tightly woven set of original compositions that blur the lines between modal jazz lyricism and the raw energy of free improvisation.

The band name O.N.E. is a clever double entendre: in Polish, “one” (pronounced oh-neh) means “they” in the feminine plural - an apt nod to the all-female lineup. In English, of course, it signifies unity. Both meanings reflect the band’s egalitarian, leaderless approach and cohesive group sound.

Together, these four distinctive creative forces have developed a shared language built on mutual respect, long-term collaboration, and deep listening. Their concerts across Europe (including Jazzahead, B-Jazz, Umeå, and the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival) have affirmed their standing as a boundary-pushing group with something new to say.
