Al Haig & Jimmy Raney - Freedom Jazz Dance (Choice)
CD reissue of the With Strings Attached LP.

The music is oddly mixed. Nasser's bass is WAY up front -- too prominent -- on many of the cuts. It's distracting.

Superb Rhythm Section here and (IMO) worth the ticket of entry alone for the two versions of "Soul Eyes" with a gorgeous Russ Freeman performance on the first take and a magical two-part Art Pepper solo with the 2nd faded out far too early ....

Definitely, definitely, definitely prefer the recent Uptown set of broadcasts material from this band to these studio sessions, which at times border on stiff and unswinging, at least in comparison to the live stuff.

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?

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.
