Arriving in Paris in 2018, Nora Kamm was clearly swept into the city's legendarily vibrant World Music scene. Previously known for contemporary piano trio Dreisam, the German saxophonist and flautist has drawn together TRIBA, a new quartet including French pianist Nicholas Vella, Madagascan bass player Ranto Rakotomalala and Cameroonian drummer Dharil Esso (aka Big Drum, apparently).

That band is at the core of One, providing its meticulous and intricate rhythmic foundation and evoking West African music from Malian Wassoulou through to Nigerian Afrobeat, with an impressive array of guest musicians also embellishing the 10 tracks. Notable contributions come from Nguyên Lê, whose dazzling guitar features on ‘Coeur’, and Cheik Diallo's atmospheric kora playing on the title track.

A Selmer Soloist Prize-winner, Kamm has a fine controlled tone and musical fluidity – the freeflowing Shorteresque soprano sax on ‘Flowing People’ is especially impressive. That solo is buoyed up by the deftly polyrhythmic drumming of Paco Séry, a former member of Joe Zawinul's Syndicate. There is much common ground with that band's groundbreaking mélange of fusion jazz and global rhythms, especially in the filmic grooves of ‘Leader’ and the coolly jazzy ‘Light’ with Rakotomalala's flamboyant bass very much in the foreground. The whole album has a highly catchy and danceable feel, harking back to a 1980s era of world music discovery, with the one exception being the separately recorded ‘Sensible’, a more spacious production with powerful Bambara vocals from Salima Traore that could have come straight from contemporary Bamoko.
