Richard "Groove" Holmes was one of the first jazz organists to emerge after the rise of Jimmy Smith (who would remain a lifelong influence). Holmes had a lighter tone on the more up-tempo pieces, but on the ballads (such as "Denise" on this set) his organ could give the impression of weighing a ton. This CD reissue combines together most of the music from Holmes' two early albums: After Hours and Tell It like It 'Tis. 

These trio renditions (with either Joe Pass or Gene Edwards on guitar and Larance Marable or Leroy Henderson on drums) give one a strong sampling of the organist's talents on a variety of blues, bop standards, and obscure originals. ~ Scott Yanow http://www.allmusic.com/album/after-hours-mw0000184447

Personnel: Richard Groove Holmes (organ); Joe Pass, Gene Edwards (guitar); Larance Marable, Leroy Henderson (drums).
