I bought a ticket for the Charles McPherson Quartet's Bimhuis concert next March, but I do not yet have any of McPherson's albums as leader. Are the two Xanadus a good place to start? Do the CD reissues have good sound quality?

It's time for my annual visits from some Ghosts of Newports Past  . . .

From July 4, 1959

From July 1, 1960

Four sets, allegedly all from July 3, 1958.  With the recent passing of Chuck Berry, it seems Kenny Burrell is the sole survivor from these performances 59 years ago.  Some fine music, in pretty good sound.  I assume they came from VOA broadcasts/sources as Willis Conover's introductions for each act are included.

Let me say first that I`m a dedicated follower of Charles McPherson and therefore my view may not be too objective .... having said that, strongly believe that his Xanadu outings are among the best ones he recorded - sound quality is very, very good (and furthermore a vast improvement to the LP`s which unfortunately were pressed on low quality vinyl) = buy with confidence, your`re in for a treat .....
