Standards Live At The Village Vanguard (1991)

Live-opname uit 1988 van het kwintet van de toen 64-jarige trombone-virtuoos. "This set features trombonist J.J. Johnson's quintet with Ralph Moore on tenor and soprano saxophone, pianist Stanley Cowell, bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Victor Lewis jamming on nine standards, plus the leader's "Shortcake." Johnson is in top form, particularly on "My Funny Valentine," "Just Friends," "Misterioso" and "Autumn Leaves." A good example of the ageless trombonist's talents." (Scott Yanow, Allmusic)
