The Oscar Peterson Trio, Con Alma: Live in Lugano, 1964 on Mack Avenue / Two Lions

First released in 2023, this set was recorded at Teatro Apollo in Lugano Switzerland by RSI Radiotelevisione svizzera (the Swiss Broadcasting subsidary covering Italian speaking Switzerland) on May 26, 1964. Mack Avenue Records is a Detroit label founded by Gretchen Valade who gets executive producer credit here. Two Lions is a label Peterson’s widow Kelly Peterson (also credited as producer) founded – the two lions being Peterson and Norman Granz.

This is the classic trio with Ray Brown (bass) and Ed Thigpen (drums). Great recording, great mastering (by Blaise Faivre).
