by Scott Yanow Bill Evans' second album as a leader was made shortly after he left Miles Davis' group. Evans, whose style was already fully formed, performs seven songs in a trio with bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones, really digging in for most of the songs and playing with a stronger aggression than usual; highlights include "Minority," "Night and Day," and "Oleo." However, it is his three piano solos, particularly the brilliant "Peace Piece," that are most memorable.
