Album DescriptionPyrotechnic, swingin' big band recording featuring jazz legends Jimmy Heath & Slide Hampton! Formed in 1981 in Baltimore, bandleader and reedman Whit Williams' "Now's The Time" Big Band has performed with many greats, including soul diva Aretha Franklin. Here, Williams and his band bring on two jazz legends in a tight, swinging, powerful performance. All of the tunes on this album have that swinging, toe-tapping quality that is at the core of Williams' musical philosophy. Now is indeed the time for Whit Williams! "Pyrotechnic ... joyful." -- Baltimore Sun
