Portrait In Jazz (Deluxe Edition, Reissue, 180 Gram Gatefold)
$30
Bill Evans’ chord voicings, adapted from Debussy and the impressionist composers, leave space that Scott LaFaro expertly and expressively fills. Bill Evans’ own “Peri’s Scope” and the Cole Porter standard “What Is This Thing Called Love” are stand out tracks from this point of view. Paul Motian’s drumming is nicely in balance throughout. Overall, this is an almost perfect jazz trio album.
