Hours After
Hours After is an album by American composer, bandleader and keyboardist Sun Ra, recorded in 1986 in Italy and released on the Black Saint label in 1989. The album was recorded at the same sessions that produced Reflections in Blue, which was released in 1987.
Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "On this continually interesting program, Sun Ra and his Arkestra perform typically odd versions of a couple of standards, a swinging original, and two outside pieces. Almost up to the level of Reflections In Blue, this date features one of the stronger versions of Ra's band... Recommended."Track listing
