New Conversations With Myself

Following collaborative albums with Cannonball Adderley, Eric Dolphy, Shelly Mann, Jim Hall and others, Evans recorded the concept album ‘Conversations With Myself’ for Verve Records in 1963. Produced in a permissive atmosphere with Creed Taylor and engineer Ray Hall in February 1963 and subtitled ‘A Searching Look into the Genius of Bill Evans’, the album features a multi-tracked Evans playing only with himself on piano, with each track featuring an improvised second and third piano line, overdubbed atop what Evans laid down first.
