About the Album
"When the Time Is Right" is the first track on "Javon and Nikki Go to the Movies," an album of poet Nikki Giovanni’s favorite songs – in this case, standards from the Great American Songbook, many of them originally composed for Hollywood classics. The repertoire draws from a broad range of sources, including three originals by saxophonist/composer Javon Jackson and one from the pen of one of his heroes, Sonny Rollins. The title ends up referring at least as much to the friendship and mutual respect shared by Giovanni and Jackson as it does to the music they’ve chosen to create together.
