Now’s the Time!

A master of the tenor saxophone revisits the bebop canon with muscular grace. Stripped-back, rhythmically inventive, and intellectually sharp jazz.

Moments Worth Listening For

The way Rollins deconstructs the Charlie Parker title track with a staccato, almost mocking rhythmic precision.

The sudden, heartbreaking shift in tone during the brief but deeply felt rendition of I Remember Clifford.

The interplay between the bass and sax on Blue 'n' Boogie where the rhythm section feels like it's chasing Rollins' heels.
