A brilliantly recorded, rarely heard concert by Oscar Peterson in Yugoslavia in 1964 - it is a perfect example of the interaction and mutual understanding of the Peterson-Brown-Thigpen unit, which would split up mid-1965, when Thigpen left.

As a bonus, nine tracks from a London performance by the same unit, recorded for the ‘Jazz 625’ TV series.

Peterson’s relationship with Ray Brown had begun in 1949, when both performed together at Carnegie Hall during one of Norman Granz’s Jazz at the Philharmonic concerts. From 1950 to 1952, Granz would often record the two musicians in a duo format, or even in trio, with Barney Kessel or Irving Ashby on guitar. From then on both would play and record in many formats, under Peterson’s name, multiple JATP concerts or backing such stars as Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald (who was Brown’s wife), Lester Young or Ben Webster, to name just a few.

Oscar Peterson, piano; Ray Brown, bass; Ed Thigpen, drums. Recorded live in Liubjana, Yugoslavia, July 29, 1964.; on bonus tracks: Same personnel; London, England, October 1, 1964.

2CD set - Total Time: 155:21 - 26 tracks - includes 12-page booklet
