Jazz song for today. 11/30/23

Todays reccomendation will be short, the move is almost over and i'm feeling more drained than ever. Keeping it pushing tho!

Todays song is Now's the Time by Charlie "Bird" Parker.

"Now's the Time" was first recorded on November 26, 1945. I originally was going to post this on the 26 but I was moving :(

"Now's the Time" Cover Album 1957

The melody of "Now's the Time" was used for "The Hucklebuck", a hit for saxophonist Paul Williams for years after Parker's original recording. Despite being released by the same record label with the same producer, Parker was not credited; instead, the composition was attributed to Andy Gibson, who had been a songwriter for Lucky Millinder, who recorded it as "D-Natural Blues'.

This song was also featured on The Weather Channel in 2008, titled: "The Weather Channel Presents: Smooth Jazz II". You can find the album it is on here: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_li6bxz6owAB79YwDA-UbRg-_99NVaoSS8
