Review by Scott Yanow
The first of two studio albums by the Bill Evans-Scott LaFaro-Paul Motian trio (both of which preceded their famous engagement at the Village Vanguard), this Portrait in Jazz reissue contains some wondrous interplay, particularly between pianist Evans and bassist LaFaro, on the two versions of "Autumn Leaves." Other than introducing Evans' "Peri's Scope," the music is comprised of standards, but the influential interpretations were far from routine or predictable at the time. LaFaro and Motian were nearly equal partners with the pianist in the ensembles and their versions of such tunes as "Come Rain or Come Shine," "When I Fall in Love," and "Someday My Prince Will Come" (which preceded Miles Davis' famous recording by a couple years) are full of subtle and surprising creativity. A gem.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El primero de los dos álbumes de estudio del trío Bill Evans-Scott LaFaro-Paul Motian (ambos precedieron a su famoso compromiso en el Village Vanguard), esta reedición de Portrait in Jazz contiene una maravillosa interacción, especialmente entre el pianista Evans y el bajista LaFaro, en las dos versiones de "Autumn Leaves". Aparte de la introducción de "Peri's Scope" de Evans, la música se compone de estándares, pero las influyentes interpretaciones estaban lejos de ser rutinarias o predecibles en aquella época. LaFaro y Motian eran compañeros casi de igual a igual con el pianista en los conjuntos y sus versiones de melodías como "Come Rain or Come Shine", "When I Fall in Love" y "Someday My Prince Will Come" (que precedió a la famosa grabación de Miles Davis por un par de años) están llenas de creatividad sutil y sorprendente. Una joya.
