Third Eye - Connexion (1977)

 

The second album from this band from The Netherlands.

The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, percussion, congas, bass, organ, keyboards, saxophones and flute.

I was not impressed by their debut album which was a pretty messy jazz album which had some avant-garde pieces too.

Connexion is clocking in at just over forty minutes and the music is somewhere between jazz and fusion.

There are four pieces of music here, averaging ten minutes long each.

The music is pretty fast with mostly saxophone solos. There are also a couple of flutes and Fender Rhodes solos here.

The music is groovy and engaging. There is a lot of interesting details here and even progheads will find this album highly enjoyable.

The quality is good throughout and this album is a bit of a hidden gem in the scene. Check out this album if fusion, prog and jazz is your thing.
