Release Notes:
Bennie Maupin has been a musiciansÆ musician for decades, and a
highly inventive contributor, on bass clarinet and saxes, to some
important records û including Miles DavisÆs ôBitches Brewö, Herbie
HancockÆs ôMwandishiö and Marion BrownÆs ôAfternoon Of A Georgia
Faunö (ECM 1970), and sessions with Sonny Rollins, Lee Morgan,
McCoy Tyner and dozens more. His recordings as a leader, however,
have been infrequent. All the more reason to celebrate the return
of this album to the catalogue, MaupinÆs very first leader date,
now making its debut appearance on CD. ôA more selfless album is
hard to imagineö, said Down Beat in 1975. ôOn æThe Jewel In The
LotusÆ, the sound is supreme, and all the players strive to
achieve a thorough blendingö. Produced by Manfred Eicher in New
York in 1974, the discÆs personnel is drawn from the circle around
Herbie Hancock in the period, but the music has a character all
its own, and still sounds entirely contemporary.
