Our Take

Ah, Bill Evans. The man, the myth, the jazz legend. Portrait in Jazz, his 1960 album, is a masterpiece that truly showcases his unparalleled talent on the keys. From the moment you press play, you are transported to a world of smooth melodies and intricate harmonies that only Evans could create.

The album kicks off with the bouncy "Come Rain or Come Shine," setting the tone for what's to come. Evans's improvisational skills are on full display throughout the record, with each track showcasing his unique ability to blend traditional jazz elements with his own innovative style.

Standout tracks include the hauntingly beautiful "Some Day My Prince Will Come" and the energetic "Autumn Leaves," both of which highlight Evans's impeccable technique and emotional depth. The chemistry between Evans and his bandmates is undeniable, with Paul Motian's nimble drumming and Scott LaFaro's melodic bass lines perfectly complementing Evans's piano playing.

Portrait in Jazz is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast, as it captures Evans at the height of his powers. So grab a glass of your favourite wine, sit back, and let the soothing sounds of Bill Evans wash over you. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
