The One Takes EP finds Daymé Arocena bouncing around ideas with label boss Gilles Peterson to put her unique spin on five different covers. Re-imagining cuts ranging from Italian obscurities to US house heroes, the sessions (as you might guess from the title) were about taking down whichever ideas came first. Working in a tradition of covers that's long been ingrained in jazz as well as Latin music, One Takes finds them taking that approach and running with it.

'Gods of Yoruba' is version of a Horace Silver track, an example of how the finished EP is almost as much a tour through interesting corners of Peterson's record collection as it is through Daymé's range as a performer.
