"Bill Evans' Explorations...the most lyrically riveting piano trio in jazz history, playing near-peak...Explorations sounds wonderful
All the tones, overtones, and rhythmic subtleties are vivid, present, and true" — Fred Kaplan, The Absolute Sound, February/March 2005
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
