Description
An unsung modernist classic from 1974 Pitchfork
Bennie Maupin has been an inventive contributor to iconic records including Miles Daviss Bitches Brew , Herbie Hancocks Mwandishi and Headhunters and Marion Browns Afternoon Of A Georgia Faun . His recordings under his own name have been infrequent but his leader debut, is indeed a jewel. A more selfless album is hard to imagine, said Down Beat in 1975. On The Jewel In The Lotus , the sound is supreme, and all the players strive to achieve a thorough blending. Recorded in New York in 1974, the discs personnel is drawn from the circle around Herbie Hancock in the period, but the music has a character all its own. The albums Luminessence vinyl edition arrives in a tip – on gatefold and includes new liner notes
