"Peace Piece" is a jazz piece recorded by Bill Evans in December 1958 for his album Everybody Digs Bill Evans.It is a pastoral improvisation done at the end of the recording session and is one of his simplest, built on a gentle Cmaj7 to G9sus4 two-chord progression that Evans had used earlier during the session for his version of "Some Other Time" from Leonard Bernstein's musical On the Town.
Around that time he also composed a piece called "Peace Piece". [6] Years later, when asked to play it, he said it was a spontaneous improvisation and didn't know it. He was a founding member of SLU's Delta Omega chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, played quarterback for the fraternity's football team, and played in the college band.
Everybody Digs Bill Evans was Evans's second album as a leader and 30th recording project overall, [3] completed 27 months after his first record as a leader, New Jazz Conceptions; Orrin Keepnews had wanted Evans to record a follow-up album to his debut sooner, but the self-critical pianist "resolutely refused to consider himself ready for another effort on his own" before this album.
