Definitely a masterpiece. I have been listening to this piece since it came out on the LP Explorations and I never get tired of listening to it. It moves me deeply.

why do tears form around my lower eyelid when I hear this? I think perhaps the music allows me to tap into what Bill was feeling at the particular time and place.

So far the best Bill Evans Trio is with Scott La Faro & Paul Motian, this is absolutely brilliant!

I spent many an hour seeing him play at the Vanguard in NYC, He was the most gifted and subtle musician of the the 60 and 70's. I talked with him several times and he was always kind, supportive ....and relevant. for those of you too young to have had the chance to wonder off the street and go down the stairs at the Vanguard...you missed a moment in history that was special !!

My name is Elsa and when my sis showed me this... I liked it cuz the title of it is my name... but then I looked at the pic and the pianist looked kind of dead to me.. like a bit morbid... and then I do not know if I should be happy or not hahhahahs.... but I like the music a whole lot... Very hard to find great music these days..

@BeBopElmo That's exactly the way I´m thinking about it. And I mean both the information that should go along with a video and the wonderful "Explorations" album. Have a nice day.

@Bruningable Thanks for adding Earl Zindars as the composer of Elsa. Composers, lyricists, and individual performers are often overlooked in YouTube uploads, both jazz and classical. Listeners like me really appreciate these details so we can look elsewhere for other contributions of these wonderful artists. "Explorations" is one of my favorite albums and a great memorial to Scott LaFaro, Paul Motian, Earl Zindars, Bill Evans, and their special relationship.

@BeBopElmo Thank you for your remark. I obviously mixed something up here...

Jazz from another era. Beautifully lyrical, sensitive, and poetic. Earl Zindars is the composer of this lovely piece.

@DunhillHilton LISTEN TO THE PARIS 1965 CD VERSION IN CONCERT. THIS IS GOOD BUT THE OTHER VERSION I THINK TOPS THIS. WHAT EVER YOU PREFER EVERYBODY DIGS BILL EVANS.TOP DRAW.
