Connection (1972) features several arrangements of popular rock songs forced into meters different than the original – none of which were arranged by Ellis. Based on Ellis's success of his film score to the movie The French Connection,
the popular "Theme from the French Connection" was included on this release.
Also included on the release was Hank Levy's "Chain Reaction," a piece Levy considered to be his finest effort for the Ellis ensemble. The scope and sophistication of Levy's composition makes it stand apart from the rest of the pop-influenced selections on the recording. Connection was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1972.
