Now’s the Time

Description

This swing classic from bebop legend Charlie Parker belongs in every jazz library. The easy melody and blues changes make this a perfect fit for younger players. Mark’s classy chart spreads the melody around starting with a front line of three saxes, trumpet and trombone, followed by feature spots for the sax section, and finally a marvelous tutti for the entire ensemble. This chart’s got it all!
