'Explorations' (Riverside RLP-351), recorded on February 2, 1961, was Bill Evans' fourth LP as a leader and the second studio album by the pianist's legendary trio with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian. Their first recording together had been the studio album 'Portrait in Jazz', taped in 1959. The trio reached its climax with their 1961 club recordings at the Village Vanguard in New York.
