Oscar Peterson – Con Alma: The Oscar Peterson Trio Live in Lugano 1964 LP (RSDBF, Blue vinyl) Sale

Oscar Peterson s trio with Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen is widely regarded as Peterson s classic trio, considered by fans as the most popular and in-demand of his long and storied career (featured on releases such as 1963 s Night Train and 1964 s We Get Requests). Recorded during their creative peak in 1964 (5 years into their collaboration), this previously unheard and unreleased live performance is destined to become a fan favorite from the Oscar Peterson vaults. In his memoir Peterson reflects on the dedication that Ray and Ed brought to the group: In addition to our trio rehearsals, therefore, Ray would call his own rehearsals in his or Ed s room and they would simply practice time. They created a flexible and multi-faceted rhythmical language that they could apply to any musical statement I might make and enhance any direction I might choose. In short, they practiced all the possibles. Limited Edition Translucent Light Blue Vinyl
