Herbie Mann - Peace Pieces - Music of Bill Evans [CD]

Bill Evans' creative imagination and deep capacity for lyricism altered the vocabulary of contemporary jazz. In Peace Pieces, flute master Herbie Mann approaches Evans' masterpieces of composition for the piano without a piano player, resulting in a unique tribute that does not suffer in comparison with the original. Bassist Eddie Gomez brought to the table 11 years as a vital element in the Bill Evans Trio, and other musicians featured include Randy Brecker, Louis Nash, Bruce Dunlap and others.
