William John Evans (Bill) would have had his Birthday today he was born this day August 16th 1929 

He was an American Jazz pianist arranger and composer he worked along side the giants of Jazz including Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley Tony Bennett Chet Baker and many more besides Many of his compositions such as Waltz for Debbie have become standards and have been recorded by many artists but for me i think his best was Peace Piece on the Kind of Blue album
