One Down, One Up: Live at the Half Note

by John Coltrane

One Down, One Up: Live at the Half Note cover art

Discovered completely by accident, this extraordinary 1965 radio broadcast captures the 'Classic Quartet' operating at a terrifying level of intensity just before their dissolution. The furious, nearly thirty-minute title track highlights Coltrane pushing deeply into aggressive avant-garde textures, propelled by Elvin Jones's relentlessly violent drum work.
