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).

My copy via private sale.

Oscar Peterson Trio, 1961 Cologne Gürzenich Concert Hall, 2011 on Jazzline

Part of a series of Jazzline releases called WDR The Cologne Broadcasts, which collects concerts recorded by Westdeutscher Rundfunk (German public radio), including this 1961 appearance of the classic Oscar Peterson Trio with Ed Thigpen and Ray Brown.

Recorded at the Gürzenich on April 11th, 1961 by an unkown recording engineer and mastered by Thomas Sehringer for release in 2011 on 180g vinyl. As with most (all?) Jazzline recordings in the WDR series, liner notes in German and English.

They fill out side two of the second LP with songs from other Jazzline releases: John Coltrane, Bud Powell, Dave Brubeck, and Modern Jazz Quartet recordings from 1960 and 1959 in West German cities. (Better than having an etching of the Gürzenrich or something on the fourth side).

Great sounding concert – wonderful versions of “My Funny Valentine” and “Con Alma” in particular.

My copy via private sale.
