Stan Getz + Trombone, My Funny Valentine

[JazzAt52ndStreet]

I tunes was playing on random today when I came across a Stan Getz track, and i have no clue where it came from.
He's playing My Funny Valentine with a quartet; tenor, trombone, piano, bass and drums. It's medium tempo, not a ballad and the head is played in kind of a melody/response kind of thing between the two horns.
The only two solos are horns.
Anyone have any idea what this track is off?

thanks-
52nd

ps it's a live track, there is applause at the end.

My guess would be Getz w. J.J. Johnson...possibly "Live at the Opera House"


BINGO!

Review by Scott Yanow
On two Jazz at the Philharmonic concerts, tenor saxophonist Stan Getz and trombonist J.J. Johnson (backed by the Oscar Peterson Trio plus drummer Connie Kay) performed an identical repertoire during the two sets of music, one recorded in mono and the other in stereo. All of the music from those dates (with the exception of one number left out due to lack of space) is included on this very exciting release: two versions apiece of "Billie's Bounce," "My Funny Valentine," "Crazy Rhythm," and "Blues in the Closet" plus one try at "Yesterdays" and "It Never Entered My Mind." Surprisingly Oscar Peterson and guitarist Herb Ellis do not solo at all but Getz and Johnson make a perfect combination and are in peak form. Bebop at its best, it has plenty of up-tempo jamming and no shortage of ideas.

I love this recording! I've spent many hours playing along with it. It's a great band. Getz sounds good.

Most importantly, JJ's version of Yesterdays is probably my favorite jazz performance. His solo is the closest thing to perfection.
