Portrait in Jazz was Bill Evans' third album as a leader, following New Jazz Conceptions (1956) and Everybody Digs Bill Evans (1958). It was also Evans' first LP with the talented bassist Scott LaFaro (even though they both participated on Tony Scott's LP Sung Heroes, recorded in October 1959, they played on separate tracks). Their superb interaction is obvious from the very first tune, and Evans was surely aware of that. As opposed to his previous albums, no solo piano selections were included here and the trio is heard throughout the whole LP. The Evans-LaFaro collaboration would reach a climax with their June 1961 club recordings at the Village Vanguard in New York. LaFaro would die in a car accident soon after (on July 6, 1961), at the age of 25. Evans was so shocked by his bassist's death that he waited a long time before forming a new trio. The repertoire here consists basically of standards (all of them treated in Evans' very personal style) plus two originals, "Peri's Scope" - premiered on Portrait in Jazz, Evans wouldn't record it again until 1967 - and "Blue in Green", which was co-composed by Miles Davis. Bill first recorded the latter track in March 1959 with the trumpeter for the classic album Kind of Blue.
