No Bill Evans fan should be without this amazing album. No jazz piano fan should be without it either.

In my opinion this is by far the best of the 3 Evans "conversations" overdubbing albums and one of his top non-trio efforts in general. The depth and range of pianistic technique and emotion is amazing. The closing Ellington composition "Reflections in D" will leave you breathless. The virtuosity of variations on "I Love My Wife" is staggering. The wistful mood of "Remembering the Rain" is pure loveliness.

And unlike parts of "Conversations with Myself" and "Further Conversations," this album is masterfully recorded and mixed, with the overdubbing of parts so fluid and natural that you are not distracted by the technique and can fully enjoy the resulting music.

Don't be scared off by the ugly cover!! This is one of the most beautiful Bill Evans records ever.

I know this album (vynil long play) since I was a teenager.

I think This album proves that Bill Evans is to Jazz what Bach was to classical music. His music is sophisticated, analytical and also very beautiful.

I had never heard of Bill evans up until 2 years ago, it was then i heard Blue on Green by Miles Davis, i was perplexed by the piano playing on it, so since then my Evans collection has got to 18 albulms. New conversations is probably my own favourite. Song for Helen is played like it's Evans last ever song to the great producer Helen Keane. Then he slips in a more up tempo cheerfull number in Nobody else but me,probably the only uptempo song on the albulm. Then theres the beautiful rolling melodies of i love my wife. My own perssonal favourite is Remembering the rain,so elegent and emotional, it is pure piano melodies so gentle. This is a must for all those Evans fans who like his moody late night songs. This album is the greatest performed by the greatest.
