The Time Is Right is a live album led by trumpter Woody Shaw which was recorded in Italy in 1983 and released on the Red label.[1]
Scott Yanow of Allmusic stated, "Although the quintet featured on this CD reissue from the Italian Red label was one of trumpeter Woody Shaw's finest, it failed to make much of an impact before breaking up... High-quality advanced hard bop".[2]
