DESCRIPTION:

., Freddie Redd Quartet with Jackie McLean - “The Connection”. USA Deep Groove, RVG & Ear (Both sides) Blue Note NY pressing. "The Connection" was a successful underground play that opened at New York's Living Theatre in July 1959 about heroin addiction and the lifestyles surrounding it. Being true to life, jazz played a large role in the storyline. It is a tribute to playwright Jack Gelber that he used real jazz musicians as actors, and as a result he got some great original music as a bonus. Freddie Redd wrote and played the music in the play, which was in turn recorded for Blue Note.
