Bill Evans Trio “Portrait in Jazz” LP

Portrait in Jazz puts the focus on lyrical piano harmony, conversational bass-and-drums interplay, and subtle dynamics.

• Bill Evans, Scott LaFaro, and Paul Motian establish the interactive trio language that would deepen further at the Village Vanguard.
• Standards such as “Autumn Leaves” become vehicles for simultaneous improvisation, with LaFaro's bass moving freely beneath Evans's piano.
• The album is a foundational document of Evans's first great trio.

For fans of Scott LaFaro, Paul Motian, and Keith Jarrett.
