The Genius After Hours is an album by American musician Ray Charles, released in 1961. The songs featured on the album were taken from the same three studio sessions that created his 1957 album The Great Ray Charles, which featured the use of both a trio and a septet; the latter was arranged by Quincy Jones. Also appearing on The Genius After Hours is David "Fathead" Newman on tenor and alto saxophone, alongside trumpeter Joseph Bridgewater.
The Genius After Hours consists entirely of instrumental tracks.[2][3] It was reissued in 1985 by Atlantic Jazzlore.[3][4]
