Jackie McLean, Freddie Redd - The Music From "The Connection"
Style: Hard Bop
Total time 102 minutes

Based on the living theatre's production of Jack Gelber's play, this film get's its power by its sheer semplicity.
A group of junkies await their drug "connection" inside a speedy New York city apartmentwhile being filmed for a documentary.

Set entirely in one room of the apartment, the "connection" effectively creates a very claustrophobic feel.
The viewer feels like someone awkwardly eavesdropping on the lives of people on the fringes of society.
