REDCAT Theater, 631 West 2nd Street, Los Angeles
I am excited to be performing on this amazing concert.
Details from the venue:
Jazz legend Bennie Maupin appears at REDCAT for the first live performance of The Jewel in the Lotus, an iconic ECM release from 1974. Maupin’s provocatively honest bass clarinet helped define the classic recordings of Miles Davis (Bitches Brew, Big Fun, On the Corner) and Herbie Hancock’s influential Headhunters band and Mwandishi sextet. The Bennie Maupin Ensemble fuses memories of Maupin’s early mentors with seminal saxophone-bass-drum trios led by Sonny Rollins with Wilbur Ware and Elvin Jones.
The ensemble features:
Munyungo Jackson, percussion
Darek Oles, bass
David Johnson, vibraphone/marimba
Gene Coye, drums
Steve Lehman, alto saxophone
Jeff Parker, guitar
Lindsey Hundley, piano/keyboards
Eyvind Kang, viola
Shana Tucker, cello/vocal impressions
