Product Description Taken from the same three sessions as The Great Ray Charles but not duplicating any of the performances, this set casts Charles as a jazz-oriented pianist in an instrumental setting. Brother Charles has five numbers with a trio (three songs have Oscar Pettiford on bass) and jams on three other tunes ('Hornful Soul,' 'Ain't Misbehavin',' and 'Joy Ride') with a septet arranged by Quincy Jones; solo space is given to David 'Fathead' Newman on tenor and alto and trumpeter Joseph Bridgewater. Fine music -- definitely a change of pace for Ray Charles. ~ Scott Yanow Liner Note Author: Leonard Feather.

Recognizing his jazz and blues roots, Atlantic both permitted and encouraged him to record instrumental sides with jazz combos and pursue piano-based material with which he was originally associated. Mastered from the original master tapes, and restored to a quality that hasn't been realized since the initial pressings more than 50 years ago, Mobile Fidelity's hybrid SACD version of The Genius After Hours takes its place as one of the most unsurpassed-sounding examples of Charles' first love affair: jazz and blues. Opening up the veil onto these early 1960s sessions, the collector's disc functions as a tableside-seat at a smoky jazz club where, for sheer fun and amusement, Charles gathers with a handful of cohorts and lets loose with hard-bop standards and swinging rhythms.

Taken from the same three studio gatherings that yielded The Great Ray Charles, the eight tunes here feature the icon pairing with both a trio and a septet.

Longtime collaborator David 'Fathead' Newman plays tenor and alto sax, while trumpeter Joseph Bridgewater and bassist Oscar Pettiford also contribute memorable performances. Hall of Fame producer Quincy Jones handles the arrangements on the bigger-band tracks. Yet the star of the program remains Charles, and the carefree, charming manner in which he causes the music to move in any direction he wills.
