Hailing from France, One Shot's music ranged from soft fusion to honing a Crimson-like edge, but was surprisingly unlike Magma since three of the quartet are from Planet Kobia.
On guitar, James Macgaw sounded like a mix of Holdworth, Hackett, and Fripp. My wife thought drummer Daniel Jeand’heaur and keyboardist Emmanuel Borghi (playing seated with a two-keyboard rack) stood out. That's not to say, Philippe Buissonnet, on bass, was a slouch! By no means!
There were technical difficulties during the second piece, which they corrected before the third. No worries. Seeing how a band and their crew overcome and correct adversity only adds spice to the performance.
Those in the know were excited about their third piece, which was definitely their best.
