Bennie Maupin Quartet, Escondido

Welcome to Something Blue, I'm Hairy Larry and I've got the blues, for you.

Bennie Maupin Quartet, ATMA

All right now, that's the Bennie Maupin Quartet playing "ATMA". Before that we heard "Escondido". The Bennie Maupin songs I am playing for you tonight are from his 2008 release, "Early Reflections". Benny Maupin played bass clarinet and other reeds with Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock. He is a jazz fusion innovator.
