We got a little snow yesterday evening, and it’s cold this morning. Sneaking in a little listening before a PT appointment today for Lucinda. I was drawn to this 2 cd set this morning–I really like it, the recording and mastering has a really live feel (thank you Malcolm Addey) and the Orchestra is having a good time. Duke Ellington “Live at the Blue Note” Roulette 2 cd set, disc 1  

All is well. I probably was too tired when I thought there was a discrepancy. 

Op.59/3  and Op.95

You should really listen to that solo album (Challenge), the Evans influence is suddenly absent again in a curious way...  I'm one of the people who say that Hawes' post-imprisonment trio albums like Here and Now or I'm all smiles are the peak... Regarding discographical mysteries, Bird Song is another east west record with guest Paul Chambers...  and here there are some reasonable doubts about the lineup as given (e.g.: the session with Big Foot has some curious overlap with a largely unreleased session of the trio with Mitchell and Thompson)
