Now's The Time

This is a 12-bar blues. It's a standard, but not necessarily for Bebop (Bop). The structure is:

1. Head
2. "Bird" (Charlie Parker)
3. "Bird"
4. "Bird"
5. Miles Davis
6. (same)
7. (same)
8. Head

Notes:

• Dizzy Gillespie is playing piano (even though he's a trumpet player), but it's very Thelonius Monk's style.
• The times I've heard this song I've always heard it so fast, so it's cool to see it slowed down.
• Again Parker seems to take something so simple as a 12-bar blues and add new notes. It's interesting that in this one he has a lot more pauses to his solo, but has fast enough speeds in his
• Doesn't even really sound like Bebop (Bop), almost like slow jazz.
