Further Conversations with Myself is a 1967 album by jazz pianist Bill Evans. All the pieces are solo with piano overdubs, a method Evans used on his earlier release Conversations with Myself. This time, however, he employed only two piano tracks instead of three. The album was nominated for a Grammy.[1] It was reissued on CD by Verve in 1999.[2]
Reception
Template:Music ratings Writing for AllMusic, music critic Scott Yanow called the album "A thoughtful and (despite the overdubbing) spontaneous sounding set of melodic music."[3] Peter Pettinger notes that it "opens with the arresting beauty of that new title in the Evans book, Johnny Mandel's 'Emily,' a fresh bloom that was to become a great favorite. The same composer's Academy Award-winning 'The Shadow of Your Smile,' from the 1965 film The Sandpiper, received a probing performance, one of the most concentrated of Evans's career, developing with increasing insistence and relentless pace .... By contrast, a stark emotional directness was brought to Denny Zeitlin's fine tune 'Quiet Now,' another Evans mainstay-in-the-making."[4]
