The album Toshiko at Mocambo (full title, Toshiko at Mocambo, The Historic Mocambo Session '54, Volume 3) was recorded by jazz pianist Toshiko Akiyoshi at the Mocambo club in Yokohama, Japan in the summer of 1954. All four tracks from this recording as well as additional tracks from the same all-night live session with and without Akiyoshi were released on the 3 CD Rockwell – Polydor / Universal album, The Complete Historic Mocambo Session '54 – including, reportedly, a performance of "It's Only a Paper Moon" with Akiyoshi attempting to fill in on bass.
