Melodi og sammenspil som den røde tråd. One Way to Be er lyden af to guitarer, bas og trommer. Denne konstellation åbner mulighed for et helt særegent klangunivers, der trækker på referencer fra både jazz, rock og nordisk musik. Musikken er overvejende egne kompositioner og bevæger sig fra det inderlige til det voldsomme udtryk, men altid med melodien og sammenspillet som den røde tråd. One Way to Be er centreret omkring de to guitarister Alex Jønsson og Jens Christian Kwella. De repræsenterer på hver deres måde toppen af dansk guitarjazz og har begge en lang række udgivelser, priser og nomeringer i bagagen. Rytmegruppen består af Jens Mikkel Madsen på bas og Daniel Sommer på trommer, der hver især har gjort sig bemærket på en lang række udgivelser.
