Swedish schnapps is probably the best Charlie Parker on Verve, since it´s a session of vintage Bird with the finest fellow musicians, and without Norman Granz behind them adding a "Tommy Turk" to a Charlie Parker Quintet or adding Buddy Rich to a Bird-Diz-Monk-Session. 
Okay, the album "Now ´s the Time" from 1953 is also very fine.....
