Sassofonista chiave nella svolta elettrica di Miles Davis prima (Bitches Brew) e di Herbie Hancock poi (Mwhandishi Band e Headhunters) Bennie Maupin non ha mai ricevuto nella ormai lunga carriera i riconoscimenti che la sua statura di multistrumentista e compositore avrebbe meritato.

Bennie Maupin, whose bass clarinet work helped define Miles Davis' classic Bitches Brew (Columbia, 1969), was an equally key contributor to Herbie Hancock's 1970s Mwandishi and Headhunters groups.

Always the bridesmaid, rarely the bride, Bennie Maupin has spent most of his career supporting other artists--sometimes as a featured soloist, but more often as a background colourist.
