Peace Piece

SR Klassiskt just gave me another little lift, this wet and dreary Monday morning. The station just completed a short set of the Bill Evans tune "Peace Piece," starting with the orginal from Everybody Digs Bill Evans and ending with an odd orchestral version. SRK is not a jazz station and never plays jazz (though sometimes show tunes), making the event for me a special pleasure. I love the music and vividly recall how it came into my life via a friend, Elsbeth, in graduate school.

Some links:

• The AllMusicGuide page on Bill Evans


• The AMG page listing the albums on which Peace Piece has appeared.


• Everybody Digs Bill Evans, the original LP, which I still own.
