Our Take

Step aside tea and crumpets, because Bill Evans is serving up a delectable musical feast with "Portrait In Jazz". This white and blue splatter vinyl edition adds a touch of elegance to an already timeless classic.

Evans' delicate touch on the piano shines through on tracks like "Blue In Green", transporting listeners to a smoky jazz club in the heart of London. The interplay between Evans and his bandmates is nothing short of magical, with each note weaving together in the most exquisite tapestry of sound.

From the swinging rhythms of "Autumn Leaves" to the introspective beauty of "Waltz for Debby", every track on this album is a masterclass in music composition. Evans' creative genius knows no bounds, as he effortlessly blends traditional jazz elements with avant-garde experimentation.

The vinyl itself is a work of art, with its stunning white and blue splatter design adding a visual element to the auditory delights contained within. It's a true collector's item for any jazz enthusiast.

So grab a cuppa, put on your best tweed jacket, and let Bill Evans take you on a musical journey through the streets of London with "Portrait In Jazz". This album is a must-have for any serious vinyl collector, and a perfect addition to any music lover's collection. Cheers, darling!
