This record is a 1974 Milestones Japanese all-analog reissue of Bill Evans Trio’s Explorations. The LP is in Excellent (Near Mint-) condition and plays beautifully with no surface noise, skips etc. It includes an original Japanese language insert. Japanese reissues are prized by audiophiles everywhere for their excellent pressing quality and all-analog mastering (as opposed to all the brand new grey market LPs produced in EU that are just struck of a public domain CDs ( the dead giveaway are all the “bonus” tracks).


Explorations, the second album by the original Bill Evans Trio, features intimate readings of five standards plus three modern jazz compositions that became synonymous with the trio's sound. Originally released by Riverside Records in 1961, it was the second and final studio album Evans recorded with his classic trio featuring Scott LaFaro on bass and Paul Motian on drums. It is a follow-up to the trio's first recording from two years earlier (Portrait In Jazz).
