GA Russell Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 “A true jazz classic… As timeless and adventurous in the present as the day it was released." —All Music Guide Jazz legend Bennie Maupin appears at REDCAT for the first live performance of The Jewel in the Lotus, an iconic ECM release from 1974. Maupin’s provocatively honest bass clarinet helped define the classic recordings of Miles Davis (Bitches Brew, Big Fun, On the Corner) and Herbie Hancock’s influential Headhunters band and Mwandishi sextet. The Bennie Maupin Ensemble fuses memories of Maupin’s early mentors with seminal saxophone-bass-drum trios led by Sonny Rollins with Wilbur Ware and Elvin Jones. Bennie Maupin reeds; Munyungo Jackson percussion; David Johnson vibraphone/marimba; Jeff Parker guitar; Darek Oles bass; Gene Coye drums; Steve Lehman alto saxophone; Eyvind Kang viola; Lindsey Hundley piano/keyboards; Shana Tucker cello/vocal impressions Friday December 8th, 8:30pm REDCAT 631 WEST 2ND STREET LOS ANGELES, CA 90012 213 237-2800 Call for tickets 213-237-2800 or BUY ONLINE CLICK TO BUY © 2017 ECM | ECM Records USA | 1755 Broadway, 3rd floor | New York NY 10011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
