About this pressing

Originally released in 1957 on Verve, Now’s the Time brings together some of Charlie Parker’s most vital bebop recordings from 1947–1953. Featuring a variety of lineups — including Miles Davis, Duke Jordan, Tommy Potter, and Max Roach — these sessions showcase Parker at his creative peak.

From the fiery title track to the lyrical Confirmation and soulful ballads like Parker’s Mood, the album captures the essence of bebop: dazzling improvisation, intricate melodies, and unstoppable swing. It’s a perfect introduction to Parker’s genius as both composer and soloist.

Timeless, inventive, and endlessly inspiring, Now’s the Time is a cornerstone of modern jazz and an essential record for any serious collection.
