The opening title track “Soul Connection” is taken at medium up tempo with Patton’s bubbling organ backing a horn fanfare. This introduction gives way to a groovin’ section of organ, guitar and drums, and a burning tenor saxophone solo. “Extensions” is another noteworthy performance, with Sparks taking a extended Grant Green like guitar solo, and Reed’s tenor sounding taught and strong with a steely tone. Patton is the anchor for it all, riding the bass pedals like a tap dancer and working the Hammond B-3 organ like a bellows. Fans of the classic organ jazz sound will find a lot to enjoy on this long lost LP.
