When I think of Bill Evans, the first song that comes to mind is Blue in Green. Often credited to Miles Davis, Evans is a co-writer, quite possibly the primary composer.

I think Miles might have ripped off Bill for a bunch of stuff.

That sure is a stunning piece of music.

Blue in Green was my first exposure to Evans. Brilliant composition and piano tonal coloration. He was a perfect piece for Miles’ very short-lived (‘58-‘59) modal jazz inventions / experimentations. Wish Miles would’ve recorded a few more albums along those lines (after Milestones and Kind of Blue). Peak of this career. Thankfully Evans ran with that style in the early ‘60s and recorded his (imo) best work.
