Portrait In Jazz (+1 Bonus Track) (Limited Edition) – Bill Evans Trio (Vinyl) (BD)

This is a limited edition vinyl LP pressing of Portrait in Jazz by the Bill Evans Trio. Portrait in Jazz was Bill Evans’ third album as a leader, following New Jazz Conceptions (1956) and Everybody Digs Bill Evans (1958). It also marks Evans’ first LP with the legendary bassist Scott LaFaro. Their superb teamwork is evident from the very first track, a chemistry Evans was clearly keen to showcase. Unlike his previous albums, no solo piano selections were included here; the trio is heard in its entirety throughout the record. This historic collaboration between Evans and LaFaro would eventually reach its peak with their iconic June 1961 recordings at the Village Vanguard in New York.
