The Bill Evans Trio: Explorations version on CD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company Essential Jazz Classics on 31. January 2012.

"The Bill Evans Trio: Explorations" is a seminal jazz album released in 1961, featuring the virtuosic talents of pianist Bill Evans, accompanied by bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian. This trio, known for their remarkable interplay and improvisational chemistry, presents a collection of tracks that blend original compositions with sophisticated interpretations of standards. The album includes the hauntingly beautiful "Haunted Heart," the introspective "I Wish I Knew," and the exotic "Israel." The trio also delivers a memorable rendition of "Nardis," a piece often associated with Evans and written by Miles Davis. The standard "Sweet And Lovely" is given a fresh, intricate treatment, while "Beautiful Love" showcases the trio's ability to reinvent familiar melodies. Evans' delicate touch on "Elsa" is a highlight, as is the trio's exploration of depth in "How Deep Is The Ocean?" Rounding out the album is "The Boy Next Door," which further exemplifies the trio's cohesive sound and Evans' lyrical approach to the piano. This album remains a classic in the Bill Evans discography and a testament to the enduring power of jazz trio performance.

Album spans genres Jazz, Contemporary Jazz, Modal and Post Bop.
