New Conversations is an album by the American jazz pianist Bill Evans, released by Warner Bros. in 1978.
It is Evans' third and final release in which he overdubs different keyboard tracks with previously played ones. 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.
The liner notes for the album were written by the noted jazz critic Nat Hentoff. In them, he says, "As you will hear, Bill does not let the technology of multi-tracking dominate him in the least. This is a thoroughly musical, not at all mechanical, achievement."
