Bill Evans's "Peace Piece" is an unrehearsed modal composition that he recorded for his "Everybody Digs Bill Evans" LP in 1958. It is hailed as one of the most beautiful and evocative solo piano improvisations ever recorded.

it’s actually from the rolling stone interview in 2019! rob sheffield said that harry put on peace piece when they were driving and it is his morning alarm sound. harry then put a different version of it to his tour intro, the one that had birds singing in the background!

I knew it sounded familiar!!

On the drive over, he puts on the jazz pianist Bill Evans — “Peace Piece,” from 1959, which is the wake-up tone on his phone.

Peace Piece

Though it is a somewhat obscure recording, Dave Brubeck's starkly-alluring arrangement of Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust" is a piece I feel everyone should feast their ears to at least once in their lives.

The introductory passage is particularly-reminiscent of Bill Evan's classic, "Peace Piece", in that it initially bases itself around a simple vamp between Dbmaj9 and Absus13 (implied by Gbmaj7). I find the melody to be particularly touching, especially when the C plays against the Gbmaj7 in the left hand, which could be interpreted as implying a Gbmaj7#11 (or perhaps simply heightening that Absus13 sound, if you considered the C to be the third of Absus13 instead).

Dave Brubeck's arrangement, though delving into passages of greater complexity (which are delivered with appropriate musicality, maturity, and finesse, as one would expect), really reinforces the key notion that, in music (although I feel this idea is ubiquitous amongst all fields), simplicity is, more often than not, the better option.

This focus upon simplicity is a philosophy that has altered (that is to say, positively-impacted) the course of my own personal ventures, whether that be my ventures in musical improvisation or my ventures in completely-unrelated fields (namely, my ventures in the field of computer science and machine learning).

Anyway, there's little use in me blabbering on about the philosophy of simplicity or the arrangement I have linked here. I would greatly appreciate if more people were to listen to Dave Brubeck's arrangement. For those who have better ear training than I do, it would be a great help if you could please transcribe this piece and share it so that Dave Brubeck's arrangement can be played for many more years to come.

it came to my realization that 99% of my fandom related headaches would be cured if everyone understood this

Bill Evans x Online Ceramics???!!

Sorry, but Peace Piece is usually in my top 10 on Spotify Wrapped every year (old boyfriends habits die hard), not even I would wear this because it is insane??

Also, seriously: this is not designed well. I own Online Ceramics, I'm not above being washed, but my man Bill deserves better!

Do you know if Harry ever said anything about his alarm sound? LOL it’s just that I constantly see on twitter or tiktok that Harry’s alarm sound is the Peace Piece which is the piano that plays right before the LOT intro, I never recall him talking about this being his alarm clock tho

Oh… This sounds so vaguely familiar to me. Shoot. Did someone else make a joke about that being true? @daisiesonafield-blog do you remember?

I grew up with the Pokemon anime, actually starting from Indigo League. So it breaks my heart that cancer once again took someone away from us far too soon. May her family find peace in this time.
