US born jazz pianist Bill Evans' impressionist style became the blueprint for jazz musicians to follow, and his work has been cited as an influence on Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Chick Corea and many more. His classic "Peace Piece" is suggestive of new age pianists such as George Winston.
Playing out like the elegantly understated collection of b-sided live material it probably is, few tracks wholly make the cut of Evans excellence, though the whole disc is obviously littered with worthy phrases.
