Bill Evans Portrait in Jazz Sacd

Explorations is an album by jazz pianist Bill Evans that was originally released on Riverside label in 1961. It was the second album Evans recorded with his trio of Scott LaFaro on bass and Paul Motian on drums. The album won the Billboard Jazz Critics "Best Piano LP" poll for 1961.

The second album by the original Bill Evans group was recorded after the pianist, bassist Scott LaFaro, and drummer Paul Motian had spent a year working together and honing the telepathy that established a new standard for trio interaction. Featuring intimate readings of several standards, plus three compositions from the jazz world that became synonymous with the trio's sounds, and with ample space for LaFaro's virtuosity to shine, the album was cited by Evans years later as among his own favorite recordings.
