why didnt miles let benny maupin play tenor sax


Recommended Posts

There was an interview with Bennie Maupin posted on this board last year, in which Bennie stated that Miles asked him to join his touring band as the reed player within a few years after Bitches Brew. Bennie said that Miles was surprised when Bennie turned him down to join Lee Morgan's band instead.

It is possible that Bennie would have played some tenor sax if he had held down the reed spot in Miles' touring band. Obviously there is no way to know at this point.
