Dexter Gordon - One Flight Up (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) (LP)

One Flight Up captures Dexter Gordon at a creative peak, recorded in 1964 with a stellar lineup including Donald Byrd, Kenny Drew, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, and Art Taylor. This standout Blue Note session, set in Paris, showcases Gordon’s relaxed and confident tenor saxophone style, delivering a beautifully nuanced post-bop atmosphere throughout.

Long admired by jazz enthusiasts, One Flight Up is celebrated for its engaging interplay and subtle sophistication, with Donald Byrd contributing exceptional trumpet work alongside Gordon’s cool, masterful approach. This album remains an underappreciated gem in Gordon’s catalog, offering an immersive listening experience for both longtime fans and new listeners alike.
