It's impossible to exaggerate the stature, brilliance, and splendor of Bill Evans' Portrait in Jazz
The result of Evans having collaborated just eight months prior with Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and company on the watershed Kind of Blue and soon after finding a bassist (Scott LaFaro) who suited his style and boasted world-class chops, the 1960 album established the standard that all similarly configured jazz trios continue to follow
This is the moment the bass, until then relegated to accompaniment status, gets an equal say in the compositions with the piano
That Evans, LaFaro, and drummer Paul Motian deliver each passage with resplendent soulfulness, poetic modality, and sublime empathy only adds to its charm
Not to mention Orrin Keepnews' demonstration-quality production that now sounds utterly transcendent
