Bill Evans Trio
Portrait In Jazz
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 2019 deluxe 2LP 45rpm Ultradisc One-Step box set from Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab. Pressed on MoFi's 180gm 'SuperVinyl'. Limited edition, #0636 of 6,000. Shrink tear on back. Recorded in 1959 and released on Riverside, Portrait in Jazz marks the Bill Evans Trio’s first studio album with the legendary lineup of Scott LaFaro on bass and Paul Motian on drums—a group that would redefine the piano trio as a true democratic conversation.

Evans’s harmonic sophistication and feather-light touch meet LaFaro’s melodic, forward-thinking bass work and Motian’s impressionistic drumming to create an interplay that feels alive, fluid, and deeply intuitive. The set blends timeless standards—“Autumn Leaves,” “Someday My Prince Will Come,” and “When I Fall in Love”—with Evans’s own lyrical compositions, each rendered with emotional precision and luminous tone.
