Bill Evans Trio.....Explorations

[thebigyin]

Just listening to the Bill Evans Trio Explorations cd 1958....i think it's Scott Lafaro on DB, great listening.

It is indeed Scott Lafaro at the peak of his powers, mind blowing. 1961 though (sorry to be a pedant)

Lol i stand corrected Spencer and yes indeed excellent....such a tragic loss.

Apparently Bill Evans didn't want Explorations released because he thought it was a poor performance it wasn't until later he changed his mind and realised it was a good album

Some lovely playing on there, indeed.

[thebigyin]

Sure is

Listened to this myself earlier for the first time. Nice, the bass seems a bit low in the mix though unfortunately.

I bought a box set of Bill Evans Trio if you listen with headphones you can hear the Bass and Drums alot clearer....i agree just straight through the speakers the Bass and Drums are very low in the mix.
