Jackie Wilson at the Copa 1962

Jackie Wilson At The Copa is the only live album by Jackie Wilson that I know about.

It was recorded at the Copacabana in New York and released in 1962.

While I think of Jackie Wilson as a soul and R&B artist, this album seems to be close to the light jazz/lounge category. Like Sam Cooke when he performed at the Copa, I suspect that Jackie Wilson eased up on his performance for the audience.

Charles Mingus The Complete Town Hall Concert 1962

The Complete Town Hall Concert is a live album by Charles Mingus and a large band.

It was recorded at The Town Hall in New York City on October 12, 1962. The album was originally released as Town Hall Concert in 1962 and then reissued in 1994 with extra tracks as The Complete Town Hall Concert.

The album has suffered from a poor reputation as Mingus and his band were playing previously unrecorded music.
