A Thousand Evenings is the 16th album by trumpeter Dave Douglas and the second featuring his Charms of the Night Sky group.

[1] It was released on the RCA label in 2000 and features performances by Douglas, Greg Cohen, Mark Feldman and Guy Klucevsek.

The Allmusic review by Sam Samuelson awarded the album 4 stars stating "By 2000 trumpeter Dave Douglas had etched himself as one of the most versatile, intriguing, and important players and composers on the scene... A Thousand Evenings is an example of great musicians keeping their ideals straight in the oft-murky landscape of major-label contemporary jazz, and is highly recommended".

The Byard piece feels like a movie soundtrack composition echoing the stated emotional titles by way of classical-jazz-popular inventions.

[4] In JazzTimes Bill Shoemaker wrote "A Thousand Evenings has a different feel than Charms of the Night Sky's first outing.
