Recording Info: Recorded 17 March 1962 at the Olympia Theatre, Paris France onto a Telefunken MS tape recorder. Engineering Claude Boquet or Bill Dubois 
This is a Monophonic Recording

Mr. Peterson needs no introduction to listeners. Here he plays in concert at Paris, France, with Ed Thigpen on drums and Ray Brown on bass. The interaction between them is at times stunning. Not that Oscar needs prodding, but at times the bass and drums are like a locomotive, driving the proceedings forward. Oscar’s playing here is gorgeous and sometimes astounding. I just love this tape. Oscar plays all well-known tunes, some from West Side Story. His ballad rendition of Young And Foolish is simply gorgeous -- this is just world-class jazz. The recording is mono but lovely, and natural and live sounding. Recorded for Paris radio
