After Hours is an album by jazz singer Jeanne Lee and pianist Mal Waldron, recorded in 1994 and released on the Owl label. [1] The album was released in the US on Sunnyside Records in 2003. [2]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "Waldron's accompaniment is typically rhythmic, creatively repetitive, brooding and personal. However it is Lee's haunting and highly expressive voice that really sticks in one's memory". [3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz described the album as "a standards session on which Lee does little more than sing the songs". [4]
