Our Take

Tears of Joy / Connection is a double whammy of jazz fusion goodness from the legendary Don Ellis. Just like a cheeky pint of ale, this album is both smooth and full of flavour, leaving you in a state of musical euphoria.

The opening track, Tears of Joy, hits you like a splash of cold water on a hot summer's day. Ellis's trumpet skills are unmatched, weaving in and out of complex rhythms like a seasoned pro. The infectious grooves will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in no time.

On the flip side, Connection takes things up a notch with its funky beats and soulful melodies. Ellis's band is firing on all cylinders here, creating a sonic landscape that is as explosive as it is smooth. It's like a musical rollercoaster ride that you never want to end.

Overall, Tears of Joy / Connection is a tour de force from Don Ellis. His unique blend of jazz, funk, and soul is a breath of fresh air in an industry that often feels stale and repetitive. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let the music take you on a journey. You won't be disappointed.
