A record of an experiment where jazz and theater intersect
Freddie Redd Quartet and Jackie McLean bring innovation to stage music.
This album, featuring music written for the theatrical production "The Connection," is a rare blend of jazz improvisation and storytelling. McLean's alto saxophone expresses the emotional ups and downs with sharp precision, while Redd's piano underpins the dramatic development. Released on CD in 1993, this historic session has been given a new opportunity for re-evaluation. While employing hard bop idioms, the theatrical context lends the music a unique sense of tension and narrative.
