Alfred Lion considered this his favorite production and well he should have. Without piano, Burrell, Stanley Turrentine and company get a clean open sound and a deep groove on such now classic compositions as the title tune and "Chitlins Con Carne", which has become a blues band staple. This RVG Series compact disc also includes extra photographs and 2 bonus tracks.

Recorded：April 1, 1956 Gil Mellé - tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone Eddie Bert - trombone (tracks 1-4) Joe Cinderella - guitar Oscar Pet tiford - bass Ed Thigpen - drums

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".
