Though One More Angel demonstrates bass-master John Patitucci's skills both as a composer and artist, in allowing others to contribute in both ways, Patitucci demonstrates a rare modesty that combines well with his musical role as a strong but subtle support rather than an overbearing titular lead. Featuring Impulse! artist 　　Michael Brecker 　　on tenor sax and Patitucci's wife 　　Sachi 　　on cello, in addition to pianist 　　Alan Pasqua 　　, tenor sax 　　Chris Potter 　　(who fills the role well in 　　Brecker's 　　absence), and drummer 　　Paul Motian 　　, Angel mixes noir-y slink and mournful silk to express sadness and strength through repetitive themes and flowing orchestrations.
