In a remarkable comeback story, forgotten bebop pianist and stage actor Freddie Redd reemerges from obscurity to perform the music he wrote for the 1960 Obie award-winning play The Connection.

That's really good news.

The Kaufman Center website indicates Ben Riley as the drummer, however.

Wow, their Reissue: Classic Recordings Live Series is truly amazing.
