One Sky is a jazz album composed by Ryan Cohan, performed by the RC Sextet and released 16 October 2007 on Motéma Music.
The album's name comes from the concept that all of humanity lives under one sky and that, therefore, man cannot operate as a solitary creature. The cover art is a photo taken by Ryan Cohan.
The Ryan Cohan Sextet received a grant from Chamber Music America to compose the suite "One Sky: Tone Poems for Humanity," which makes up the second half of the album.[1][2]
