Further Conversations With Myself

Further Conversations with Myself, released on the Verve label in 1967, was Bill Evans’ sequel to his 1963 Grammy Award LP Conversations with Myself.  As on that initial album, here all the pieces are unaccompanied solos with piano overdubs. On Further, however, he plays just two pianos instead of the three he had previously employed.

According to AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow, “The program is brief, but Evans plays quite well throughout. In particular, his versions of Johnny Mandel's ‘Emily’ and ‘Santa Claus Is Coming to Town’ are most memorable. A thoughtful and (despite the overdubbing) spontaneous-sounding set of melodic music.”

Recorded at Webster Hall, New York City, August and September, 1967
