[3] Corea first recorded "Windows" under the title "Uph" on a session led by Mercer Ellington on January 5, 1966.
Joining Corea were Paul Gonsalves, Aaron Bell, and Louis Bellson, all sideman of the Duke Ellington Orchestra.
In March 1967, Corea recorded the piece as part of Stan Getz's band, with the results included on the album Sweet Rain.
A year later, in 1968 Corea recorded "Windows" under his own name, accompanied by bassist Miroslav Vitouš and drummer Roy Haynes; this version would appear on the 1975 album Circling In as well as the 1988 CD release of Now He Sings, Now He Sobs.
A 1997 performance, featuring Corea, vibraphonist Gary Burton, guitarist Pat Metheny, bassist Dave Holland, and Haynes, is included on the album Like Minds.
