With the passage of time, Bill Evans has become an entire school unto himself for pianists and a singular mood unto himself for listeners.

There is no more influential jazz-oriented pianist -- only McCoy Tyner exerts nearly as much pull among younger players and journeymen -- and Evans has left his mark on such noted players as Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, and Brad Mehldau.
