    CHARLIE PARKER QUARTET - NOW'S THE TIME

    6-PANEL DIGIPAK WITH COMPREHENSIVE BOOKLET WITH UP-TO-DATE LINER NOTES

    Now's the Time compiles two of Charlie Parker's rare quartet dates (he usually recorded in a quintet format). Both are spectacular sessions, full of intricate originals by Bird, complemented by two beautiful readings of the standards "The Song Is You" and "I Remember You". A 1950 quartet date (save for one track on which Bird is joined by the great Coleman Hawkins) and a 1951 quintet session with Red Rodney on trumpet have been added as a bonus.

    Charlie Parker, alto sax. On all tracks, plus:
    1-6: HANK JONES, piano; TEDDY KOTICK, bass; MAX ROACH, drums
    New York, December 30, 1952.
    7-13: AL HAIG, piano; PERCY HEATH, bass; MAX ROACH, drums
    New York, July 30, 1953.
    *Bonus tracks
