Widely considered to be one of the most important pianists of all time, Bill Evans had an innovative approach to rhythm and harmony that makes him one of the most instantly recognizable voices in jazz piano.  His use of introspective lyricism and impressionist harmony continues to inspire not only modern jazz pianists, but artists in all genres.
