Description

Up for auction is the timeless classic: Bill Evans Trio Portrait in Jazz, Riverside LP 12-315 from 1959. The trio is, of course, Evans on piano, Scott LaFaro on bass, and Paul Motian on drums. The label is solid blue with silver writing and has the deep grooves on both sides, along with Bill Grauer Productions 235 West 46th St. New York 36 on the back cover. 
Sleeve: EX+, with no ringwear, seam splits, or discoloration, though the back spine has signs of its age in the form of some dog ears and peeling. There is one line of blue ink on the back with an acquisition date of "April 7, 1960."
Record: side -1 EX+ with minor scuffing from coming in and out of the sleeve; side - 2 VG++ with minor scuffing and one superficial scratch between tracks 3 and 4. None of this causes popping, and the record plays and sounds amazing. 


I am a university professor of music here in the US who inherited this and other records (Blue Note, Norgran, Impulse!, Columbia, Prestige, Fantasy, Riverside, etc.) from a collector and former radio DJ a few years back. I am looking to sell off some of these records to collectors/audiophiles who can get more enjoyment out of them than I can. 

 

Thanks for looking.
