Now Is the Hour (Charlie Haden album)

The AllMusic review by Tim Sheridan stated: "Seldom does modern music so perfectly evoke a time and place in history as this terrific band. Fans of Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra will find the simple accessibility either surprising or disappointing, but fans of classic, romantic jazz will find joy".
