    My sister snuck me in when I was underage to listen to Roy in the clubs in Naptown (indianapolis). Still have some of the Christmas cards that he sent me.

      The original was actually performed by the Erskine Hawkins band, and you're right, it's the greatest!

    I first heard After Hours played by composer Parish with Erskine Hawkins on a 78 rpm record in the mid-1940s. I was 15 years old and hadn't known such music existed and it rocked me to the core. I haven't been the same since. 8-)

      after hours was the name of a jazz radio program in 40s in new york and this was the theme song

      Ron, I remember it. That station played with this same theme instrumental until 1965.

      Avery Parrish's version was much more down to earth and raw, just like the people and clubs were back then. This version although more contemporaneous, is much too superfluous and overplayed to place a person's head into the time machine.

    Can tell right away the guy can't play very well. Doesn't have a good feel. Runs in circles and then goes down scale.
