Bennie Maupin - Jewel in the Lotus


This record was a rare find at Cedarburg's Maxwell Street Days (think gigantic flea market). Has some hissing and snaps (record is scratched up a bit) which is typical for a Maxwell Street record. Later on, I will listen to some Styx records that I picked up at Maxwell Street Days that made a big mark on me in 8th grade.

This record has a lot of electronic piano (Herbie Hancock... his only appearance on ECM?)

I like that Bill Summers is credited as playing waterfilledgarbagecan.

This record is pretty much Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi band, but no Julian Priester or Eddie Henderson.

This is a very reflective record. No wildly intense grooves... very meditative.
