5.0 out of 5 stars Remarkable combo Here! 5 Stars!, September 8, 2000

By	Brian G. Jett, MRC (Lexington, KY United States) - See all my reviews

This CD is one of about 5 CDs that I listen to very frequently. Firstly, because I play jazz guitar and I love to her Pass play with absolute purity on each solo. Posthumously, Pass plays superbly and the CD is laid out very well. Starting with "There Will Never Be Another You" sure sets the stage.

The CD captures Previn and Pass [literally] playing off each other's solos and one quickly discerns that there was much fun going on when these three jazz masters recorded it! Per usual, Ray Brown's freshness shined through and his remarkable sense of snagging the beat most creatively, enabled them to play without a drummer.

Previn is known both as a classical player and jazz player. This CD evidences a man with almost surreal skill and aptitude while playing solos and too, playing sweet chordal progessions during Brown and Pass' solos!

Get this CD and listen to it a few times. You will have listened to it 300 times by year's end! Awesmome summarily sums it up! Buy it!

Respectfully, Brian G. Jett

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent late-night mello Jazz, August 25, 1998

By A Customer

For those looking to start a Jazz collection, this is hidden treasure. The album keeps a constant late-night mood throughout and the technical wizardry of Previn and Pass reinforces the quiet feel with some incredibly interesting and enjoyable music. The album ends wonderfully with "One for Bunz", so good that it makes me start the album over. Do yourself a favor and pick it up

5.0 out of 5 stars great jazz, July 10, 2006

By	musician (canada) - See all my reviews

"After Hours" with Andre Previn, Ray Brown and Joe Pass is one of the best jazz CD's I have heard in a long time. It is entirely standards and Previn is sensational on piano. It was recorded almost with little rehearsal and thus is very spontaneous. Of course Brown and Pass are equal to Previn.

Because Previn is so versatile he is often overlooked as a great jazz pianist. This CD disproves any questions one may have about his remarkable ability.
