Charlie Parker - Now's the Time - 180g Verve By Request

This 1957 release, the third in a series of albums expanding on Bird's 10" Clef releases from the early 1950's, Now's The Time boasts some of Parker's purest recordings and strongest playing. His lyrical and fluid improvisations on cuts like "The Song Is You" and "Laird Baird" are on full display, prime examples of his unmatched genius. His Quartet is Al Haig, Max Roach, & Percy Heath. The Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
