I have listened to the Hallmark Original Recording of Portrait in Jazz by Evans. I bought this because it was of central importance to someone I know who is into jazz piano in a big way with similar taste. Evan's playing on this is more aggressive than any other recording I have of his. Up till now I chose the darkest and most lyrical of his recordings from my perception and sampling. Very fine music throughout. As to the recording itself it seems free of hiss with the possible exception of the beginning of Some Day My Princess Will Come,not. Very very quiet background. It is almost mono like in nature. The piano is large, upfront with very little side to side motion. Drummer pretty quiet and also in the center. The bass is to the right. Everything stays the same throughout the whole disk. I'd say a somewhat unusual recording but very good. No "bonus" tracks. A very pure listening experience. T456
