Our Take

This album by jazz legend Charlie Parker is like a musical time machine. "Now's The Time" transports you back to the golden age of bebop, where Parker's saxophone solos are as smooth as butter and as explosive as a firework display.

The solid yellow vinyl adds to the vintage vibe, making it feel like you've stumbled upon a rare gem in your local record store. Each track on the album is a masterclass in musicianship, with Parker's inventive melodies and complex harmonies leaving you in awe of his talent.

From the swinging rhythms of "Ko-Ko" to the soulful balladry of "Parker's Mood," this album showcases Parker's versatility and creativity. The interplay between Parker and his bandmates is pure magic, with each musician pushing the boundaries of what's possible in jazz.

If you're a fan of classic jazz or looking to expand your musical horizons, "Now's The Time" is a must-listen. It's a reminder of Parker's genius and a testament to the enduring power of his music. So sit back, relax, and let Charlie Parker take you on a sonic journey you won't soon forget. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
