Pianist Bill Evans records
Everybody Digs Bill Evans with Sam Jones on bass and
Philly Joe Jones on drums. This album, which contains the innovative
Peace Piece,
is available on Original Jazz Classics. I hope that Bill didn't come up with this title! ... Just
kidding. Riverside came up with the title to promote Bill in the ranks of Jazz. The cover is a
unique all quotes design featuring complimentary blurbs from various people including
Miles Davis, the first time the trumpeter allowed himself to be quoted in such a manner
about a fellow musician.
