Reissued in 1957 as The Genius Of Charlie Parker, Vol.3: Now’s The Time, with alternate takes of the original 10” LPs eight tracks, the original Verve album simply called Charlie Parker, released in 1953, is a gem among Parker’s work. The original LP had eight tracks, the first four recorded at Fulton Recording in New York City, on 28 July 1953, while the following four tracks date from a session at the same studio, seven months earlier.
