The Bill Evans Trio

A quiet revolution in trio jazz. Portrait In Jazz introduced a new kind of interplay — piano, bass, and drums moving as equals, listening and responding in real time. Evans’ lyrical touch floats over Scott LaFaro’s melodic bass lines and Paul Motian’s feather-light rhythms, creating music that feels intimate, conversational, and deeply emotional.

Elegant, modern, and endlessly warm — a landmark recording where sensitivity became strength and space became part of the melody.
