Bennie Maupin (born August 29, 1940)[1] is an American jazz multireedist who performs on various saxophones, flute, and bass clarinet.[2]
Maupin was born in Detroit, Michigan, United States.[1] He is known for his participation in Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi sextet and Headhunters band, and for performing on Miles Davis's seminal fusion record, Bitches Brew.[1] Maupin has collaborated with Horace Silver, Roy Haynes, Woody Shaw, Lee Morgan and many others.[1] He is noted for having a harmonically-advanced, "out" improvisation style, while having a different sense of melodic direction than other "out" jazz musicians such as Eric Dolphy.
Maupin was a member of Almanac, a group with Cecil McBee (bass), Mike Nock (piano) and Eddie Marshall (drums).
