Conviction: Thoughts of Bill Evans is the 8th album by jazz singer Roseanna Vitro, released in 2001 by A Records, an imprint of Challenge Records International.
AllMusic awarded the album 4½ stars out of five, with reviewer Alex Henderson calling it "a consistently interesting date" fueled by a host of supporting players well versed in Evans' music, and by Vitro's uniquely personal take on a variety of Evans themes and belatedly added lyrics. [1]
