The Connection Quartet is a dynamic collaboration uniting drummer Arvind Ramdas with long-time musical collaborators. Rooted in deep respect for the jazz tradition, the ensemble is dedicated to performing the complete music from The Connection, the landmark 1960 film featuring an iconic score by pianist and composer Freddie Redd.

This project brings Redd’s hard bop compositions back to life with reverence and vitality, capturing the raw energy, lyrical depth, and cinematic atmosphere that defined the original recording. The quartet approaches this repertoire not as a museum piece, but as a living, breathing body of work—infused with spontaneity, interplay, and modern sensibility. With pianist Julian Borkowski, bassist David Caballero, and alto saxophonist Tamas Balai, Ramdas honours Freddie Redd’s legacy while celebrating the enduring vitality of jazz.

Open Jazz Jam to follow, hosted by The Connection Quartet. Presented in association with Tyrant Studios.
