What are you listening to right now #64

Jackie McLean With The Freddie Redd Quartet – The Music From "The Connection". 1983 reissue on Boplicity.

Have been really enjoy Jackie McLean's playing recently.

Nerdy question: does anyone know why the Boplicity catalogue numbers switched from BOP to COP after the first few releases?

Nerdy answer: the following is my lowest numbered COP by Boplicity and I always thought it was because they were originally Contemporary releases.


I also have Music from the Connection but it’s by Howard McGhee.


I lied, this is my earliest COP!


This might be the clincher.

Another of these excellent Redhook Recordings
I know the artist a bit better here.
Amazon stream to headphone.
His version of ‘Smmertime’ is is incredible. Like a relentless search for the inner truth or essence of the music.
Streaming this now. It’s slowing me down as I become more and more absorbed by his playing.
