No ifs and buts! Ray Charles belongs in every jazz
collection. Friends of pure jazz tend to forget
this in the light of his numerous hits in
categories such as gentle ballads, and even
country and western songs, and rhythm?n?blues
during the more than 60 years of Charles?
extremely successful (also financially speaking)
career.
The producer Neshui Ertegun gathered together a
star-studded cast for this Atlantic Records studio
recording. There was David Newman on the tenor
sax, Joe Harris on the drums, and even Oscar
Pettiford on the bass. Not forgetting Ray Charles
himself who was an excellent jazz pianist.
The studio was saturated with the blues! A relaxed
mood prevailed, just as one might imagine it. The
musicians came to the studio after a concert,
they were completely drained, worn out, exhausted:
they had the blues and then they played the
blues.
Even a standard work such as Gershwin?s 'The Man I
Love' was turned into an elegy. Only 'Ain?t
Misbehavin?', which reminds one more of Earl Hines
than Fats Waller, and 'Charlesville' - a fast
blues number - were treated to a change of tempo.
'The Genius After Hours' is a self-portrait that
exhibits the less well-known talents of this
exceptional artist during the second half of the
last century. It makes great listening for all
lovers of jazz, soul, blues, rhythm?n?blues,
country and western, pop, funk ? You name it,
Charles has got it!
