Virtual Museum Exhibit: Pasos: The Museum and Center for Peacebuilding (visit: www. pasospeacemuseum.com)—Bill Evans's "Peace Piece" is an unrehearsed modal composition that he recorded for his "Everybody Digs Bill Evans" LP in 1958. It is hailed as one of the most beautiful and evocative solo piano improvisations ever recorded.

This to me conjures up images of what heaven would look and sound like. It is spine tinglingly emotional and beautiful.

I'm so grateful to finally have a "high audio quality" version (relatively speaking) on YouTube!
Thank you.

If life were a fairytale, he'd be my uncle and Miles my godfather... But then again, life isn't fair, is it?

Bill Evans is the Maestro of piano!

Thank you!

@digiblood Thanks for the Coltrane recommendation. You're right about where the song takes you. For me it had a "Film Noir" feel to it. As for Bill Evans, I'm looking deeper for more of his artistry. Hoping to find more music with both artists involved.

@doc2skate Agreed! It's the Flamenco Sketches intro. The solo has the same feeling for Bill.
However in Flamenco Sketches, Coltrane, CanonBall and Miles take it more to Spain in take 2. Take 1 is quite similar to this tune. Very soulful and mellow.
I really love this kind of tune, we want to call it jazz but it's really just a soulful tune that transcends the genre. Much like Coltrane's Naima.
