Part mystery, part adventure, completely heart-felt, âNowâs the Timeâ follows jazz trumpeter Didi Heron as she searches for the lost tape of her fatherâs last gig before his tragic death. A celebration of family ties and musical legacies, âNowâs the Timeâ is a meditation on jazz and jazz players. Drawing inspiration from the lives of musical giants, Strauss has created a fictional work rooted in historical fact, jazz rhythms and harmonies and emotional reality.
