New Conversations is Evans' third and final release in which he overdubs different piano tracks with his previously played track. The first release recorded in this manner was Conversations with Myself (1963) followed by Further Conversations with Myself (1967).
A noteworthy difference in this release is that Evans plays the Fender Rhodes electric piano as well as his customary acoustic piano.
Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars writing "the results are less memorable than one might expect, for Bill Evans seemed always at his best in trio settings.".[1]
