"Everybody Digs Bill Evans" is a 1958 (see 1958 in music) album by jazz musician Bill Evans. It was the artist's second album, done two years after his first record as a leader. Even though his producer tried to encourage him to record again sooner, the highly self-critical Evans felt he had "nothing new to say" before this album. It contains three Evans compositions, including one of his most famous, "Peace Piece", a two-chord improvisation which many consider a forerunner of what became known later as "New Age" music.The recording captures Evans at a time when he was into playing block chords. That combined with his expert use of pedals gave him a fresh, distinctive sound that had never been heard before on the piano.
