Bill Evans - Portrait in Jazz (Japan) – 1976 Riverside...

A superb and fully complete 1976 Japanese pressing of Bill Evans Trio's landmark album Portrait in Jazz, issued on Riverside Records under catalogue number SMJ-6144. This Japanese Riverside edition arrives with the original ¥2,200 OBI strip and original Japanese liner-notes insert intact, making it a particularly attractive copy for collectors of Japanese jazz pressings. Originally recorded in New York on December 28, 1959, Portrait in Jazz captures one of the most celebrated piano trios in jazz history. The importance of this trio lies in the extraordinary musical interaction between Bill Evans on piano, Scott LaFaro on bass, and Paul Motian on drums—an approach where LaFaro and Motian operate as equal voices alongside Evans, a method that became enormously influential on modern jazz piano trio playing. The album includes some of Evans' defining interpretations, including "Come Rain or Come Shine," "Autumn Leaves," "Witchcraft," "When I Fall in Love," "What Is This Thing Called Love?," "Someday My Prince Will Come" and the Miles Davis/Bill Evans composition "Blue in Green." An interesting feature of this Japanese edition is that it includes both stereo and mono performances of "Autumn Leaves," giving the LP a 10-track configuration. ⸻ Sleeve (EX): The original sleeve remains very solid, clean and attractive with only minimal signs of age and storage. The presentation is excellent overall, grading a strong EX. Insert / OBI: The original ¥2,200 OBI strip is included in fine condition, along with the original Japanese liner-notes insert, completing the full original Japanese presentation. Vinyl (NM): The vinyl is in superb Near Mint condition, retaining a beautiful deep original shine with extremely little evidence of previous play or handling. A remarkably clean example and an excellent listening copy, grading NM. ⸻ Details * Japan 1976 pressing * Riverside Records SMJ-6144 * Stereo * Original ¥2,200 OBI included * Original Japanese insert included * Recorded December 28, 1959 * Evans / LaFaro / Motian trio * 10-track configuration with both stereo and mono "Autumn Leaves"
