Shaw 'Nuff is a landmark bebop tune written by Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker in 1945. It was first recorded on May 11, 1945 by Dizzy Gillespie and His All Star Quintet with Charlie Parker on alto sax, Al Haig on piano, Curley Russell on bass, and Sydney Catlett on drums, with Gillespie on trumpet. The piece is in the key of B flat, played in 4/4 time, and runs about 183.7 seconds. As a contrafact of I Got Rhythm, its fast, intricate melody rides over brisk chord changes and a high tempo characteristic of early bebop. It was first released as a single in 1945, and over the years has appeared on various jazz compilations and later reissues, cementing its place in the Dizzy Gillespie All Stars and Charlie Parker All Stars legacy.
