I also played that a few days on USB in the car. "April" is in a quite slow tempo for that tune. On live versions (with Bird at Birdland, with Mingus in France, and in trio at his comeback in NY) he plays it faster. 
I think the ballad interpretations on Side B are much stronger, very deep and with fantastic chord selections (especially "My Devotion" and I love "Burt Covers Bud" which actually is "Bean and the Boys" as well as "Woody´n You. "My Heart Stood Still" is also a very very interesting arrangement.

A fine collection. I like most the live set.

But on those sides at some private place there is one tune where someone sits at the drums who just can´t play. 

I think one short track has a very fine Buddy Rich on drums. I´m not necessarly a Buddy Rich fan, but that one is great.

A very good late era Hutcherson release - and well recorded.
