Bennie Maupin's highly personal bass clarinet sound helped define such classics as Miles Davis's "Bitches Brew, Jack Johnson, Big Fun" and "On the Corner," as well as recordings by Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi Band, and the Headhunters. The multi-woodwindplayer has also recorded with Marion Brown, Chick Corea, Horace Silver, McCoy Tyner, Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, Jack DeJohnette, Andrew Hill, Eddie Henderson and Woody Shaw, among others. Maupin's current group, The Bennie MaupinEnsemble, harkens back to the great saxophone-bass-drum trios, such as that of Sonny Rollins, with Wilbur Ware and Elvin Jones.
