The best live Coltrane albums are the rediscovered Monk concert at Carnegie, at the Village Vanguard (the box is worthwhile) and at Birdland. One Down, One Up is a half-step down, which is still worthwhile. The 27-minute solo on the title track is one of the finest extant examples of Trane on the way out to wherever he ended up, but still near enough to us earthlings to perceive him with senses unaided. In the asteroid belt, maybe.
