Our Take

JACKIE MCLEAN & FREDDIE REDD's reissue of The Connection (Limited Edition) is like stumbling upon a hidden gem in a thrift store full of outdated vinyl. This album radiates a cool, effortless energy that transports you back to the jazz clubs of yesteryear.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, you are enveloped in a world of smoky melodies and toe-tapping rhythms. McLean's saxophone effortlessly weaves in and out of Redd's pianos, creating a dynamic interplay that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Tracks like "Deadpan" and "Awful Lonely" showcase the duo's undeniable chemistry, with each note feeling like a conversation between old friends. The music is at once playful and introspective, drawing you in with its infectious groove.

The limited edition vinyl adds to the allure of this album, making it feel like a rare treasure that only true connoisseurs of jazz can appreciate. Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or a newbie looking to dip your toes into the genre, The Connection is a must-have addition to your collection.
