Bennie Maupin – Early Reflections
A Miles Davis alumnus you want to experience who provides clarity of jazz vision is Bennie Maupin.
He’s making some great music of late. I am enjoying his jazz craftmanship a great deal as a multireedist. His latest work with The Bernie Maupin Quartet is entitled Early Reflections on Cryptogrampophone, an eclectic, creative jazz and world music entertainment label from Los Angeles.
I am including links to several reviews of Early Reflections to round out your knowledge and enhance your listening pleasure.
Yours in Jazz and Music, Edje 
A very articulate, absorbing article was written by Don Heckman (Jazz Times), who was just nominated for a Jazz Journalist Lifetime Achievement Award, deservedly so.

Here is an excerpt of that article about Bennie Maupin from Jazz Times, June 2008 issue.
