Bill Evans Trio - Portrait In Jazz

Standard weight OJC pressing

One of the two most important associations in the early development of Bill Evans' incredible talent was undoubtedly his nine-month stay in 1958 with the Miles Davis Sextet which also included John Coltrane And Cannonball Adderley.

The other was the period of a year and a half during which Scott LaFaro was the bassist for Bill's newly formed trio and they developed their remarkable creative rapport, working toward what Evans calledsimultaneous improvisation. Portrait in Jazz was the first of four albums by the Evans/LaFaro/Motian team; one can clearly hear the exciting sound of new ideas emerging. With Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian.
