Our Take

Right, so let's talk about this new release from the legendary jazz musician, Charlie Parker. Titled "Now's The Time," this album is a real blast from the past - and I mean that in the best way possible.

From the moment you press play, you're transported back to the smoky, dimly lit jazz clubs of the 1940s. Parker's saxophone skills are on full display here, with each note hitting like a punch to the gut (in a good way, of course).

The album kicks off with the infectious title track "Now's The Time," which sets the tone for the rest of the record - a toe-tapping, head-bopping journey through the world of bebop. Tracks like "Yardbird Suite" and "Parker's Mood" showcase Parker's incredible improvisational prowess, leaving you wondering how on earth one person can be so damn talented.

But it's not all fast-paced bebop on this album. Parker shows his sensitive side on tracks like "Lover Man" and "Embraceable You," where his emotive playing will have you reaching for a tissue (or a stiff drink - whichever you prefer).

Overall, "Now's The Time" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. Parker's timeless music still sounds fresh and exciting, even all these years later. So grab a glass of whiskey, dim the lights, and let Charlie Parker take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers!
