Bill Evans Trio - Explorations
Explorations was the second album Evans recorded with his trio of Scott LaFaro on bass and Paul Motian on drums. Evans considered it one of his favorites from this period. The album won the Billboard Jazz Critics Best Piano LP poll for 1961. This is the original Dutch mono pressing of the Bill Evans Trio "Explorations" LP (Riverside #RLP-351) from 1961. It comes in a UK sleeve which is the way it was released.

Tracks: "Israel" "Haunted Heart" "Beautiful Love" "Elsa" "Nardis" "How Deep Is the Ocean?" "I Wish I Knew" (Harry Warren) "Sweet and Lovely"
David Rickert of All About Jazz wrote: "...Evans demands to be heard, seducing you with his indelibly emotional playing... The trio works magic here, breathing fresh air into standards such as 'How Deep Is the Ocean?' and 'Beautiful Love' and creating the illusion that these songs were written just so someone like Evans could play them. The highlight of the album is 'Elsa,' which is one of the most beautiful piano ballads on record." Writing for Allmusic, critic Thom Jurek said of the album: "Evans, with Paul Motian and Scott LaFaro, was onto something as a trio, exploring the undersides of melodic and rhythmic constructions that had never been considered by most... Explorations is an extraordinary example of the reach and breadth of this trio at its peak."
