5 out of 5 stars A Great Recording By The Great Trio!.......2004-08-26

Pianist Bill Evans, bassist Scott LaFaro, and drummer Paul Motian comprised one of the greatest piano trios of all time. The music of "Explorations" is always interesting as is everything this group did. Evans is somehow able to sound introspective even when he is swinging; one can picture him hunched intently over his piano. There is so much to recommend here. If I had to single out my favorite cut it would be Bill's exploration of "Sweet and Lovely," a tune Thelonious Monk made his own. Bill's rendition seems to be paying homage to Monk. Evans was always very generous in giving his bass players plenty of solo space. His bassists were almost co-soloists rather than simply rhythm keepers. This is particularly important with his recordings with LaFaro because the young bassist would soon be dead in an automobile accident. Luckily, through their recordings, we can here this great trio play together forever.
