Our Take

Charlie Parker's latest album "Now's The Time" is like a musical rollercoaster ride, with twists and turns that will leave you dizzy in the best way possible.

Parker's virtuoso saxophone skills are on full display in each track, as he effortlessly weaves in and out of complex melodies with the precision of a surgeon. The way he manages to make the saxophone sound like it's speaking to you is nothing short of magical.

The album opens with the upbeat and energetic title track "Now's The Time", which sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, Parker takes you on a journey through a variety of moods and tempos, showcasing his versatility as a musician.

Tracks like "Yardbird Suite" and "Ornithology" are a masterclass in bebop, with lightning-fast runs and intricate harmonies that will have you hitting the replay button time and time again.

But it's not all fast-paced madness – Parker also shows his softer side on tracks like "Parker's Mood", where his expressive playing tugs at your heartstrings in the best possible way.

Overall, "Now's The Time" is a triumphant return for Charlie Parker, showcasing why he is still regarded as one of the greatest saxophonists of all time. So grab your headphones, sit back, and prepare to be blown away by this jazz masterpiece.
