One Flight Up is an album by American jazz saxophonist Dexter Gordon recorded on June 2, 1964, in Paris and released on Blue Note the following year.[1] The session featured Donald Byrd on trumpet, pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, and drummer Art Taylor.
Reception
The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 3½ stars stating "One Flight Up stands as a testament to Dexter Gordon's viability as a bandleader and teammate, while his individualism is somewhat sublimated. It's a good listen to digest all the way through, especially if you are as patient as the performers, who have a lot to say".[2]

The LondonJazzCollector remarks upon Gordon's role in encouraging young talent and seasoned pros alike to stretch themselves, stating "it’s great to find [Gordon] give lots of space to the other players, particularly in the Byrd-penned “Tanya” which occupies all of side one. Dexter is quietly restrained, Byrd plays to Hubbard, Drew plays to Pearson and Hancock, Taylor mixes Blakey with a touch of Williams, and NHOP [Pedersen] walks dreamlike through the 18 minute space."[6]
