  • Bio

    .. Multi-Woodwind artist/composer Bennie Maupin has recorded with Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, Horace Silver, Lee Morgan, Jack DeJohnette, Andrew Hill, and Eddie Henderson, to name only a few. His highly personal bass clarinet sound has helped define such important jazz albums as Miles Davis' Bitches Brew, Jack Johnson, Big Fun and On the Corner, as well as recordings by Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi band, and the Headhunters. Penumbra is a profound musical statement by an important jazz artist who is at the pinnacle of his artistic powers. Penumbra is dedicated to the memory of Lyle "Spud" Murphy. ...... ..

    Greetings from the heavy metal world, Bennie! Your new album is marvelous and beautiful. And, even though I don't make music that sounds like yours at all, I hold you dear as a great inspiration and influence.
    Stay cool!
