about

Woodwind legend Bennie Maupin follows his highly acclaimed 2006 CD “Penumbra,” with “Early Reflections,” a beautiful recording of Maupin’s European quartet featuring pianist Michal Tokaj, and guest vocalist Hania Rybka. “Early Reflections” is another brilliant effort from the artist best known for his work with Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Horace Silver, The Headhnters, and many others. Features a new version of Maupin’s classic composition, “The Jewel in the Lotus.”

A very interesting album. At a few places I keep asking myself: Was this composed by Arnold Schönberg (or his disciples)? Anyway, I'm all for skilled musicians exploring the boundary (if one exists) between jazz and classical. Thumbs up! jyrki63

A unique sonic & spiritual journey with some parallels to the great masters own later albums. So nice to hear Bennies bass clarinet again on a present day recording. Bought the vinyl & the CD, should have taken cassette as well ... ufo_dk
