Bill Evans refused producer Orrin Keepnews' invitation to record a follow up album to his 1956 debut "New Jazz Conceptions" for over two years, stating that he had nothing new to say. He joined the Miles Davis quintet, participating in "Kind Of Blue", and took his time to plan his re-emergence as a leader in his own right. "Everyone Digs Bill Evans" marked that return in 1958 but it was "Portrait In Jazz", released a year later, that claimed his place at the forefront of jazz.
  
Bill Evans' chord voicings, adapted from Debussy and the impressionist composers, leave space that Scott LaFaro expertly and expressively fills. Bill Evans' own "Peri's Scope" and the Cole Porter standard "What Is This Thing Called Love" are stand out tracks from this point of view. Paul Motian's drumming is nicely in balance throughout. Overall, this is an almost perfect jazz trio album. 
 
The trio had just two years together, peaking at the Village Vanguard sessions in 1961. Weeks later, Scott LaFaro had been killed in a car crash, setting back Bill Evans' career and his music as much as his developing narcotic addiction.
