Description:

CD reissue. Bennie Maupin has been an inventive contributor to iconic records including Miles Davis's Bitches Brew, Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi and Headhunters and Marion Brown's Afternoon Of A Georgia Faun. His recordings under his own name have been infrequent but his leader debut from 1974, is indeed a jewel. "A more selfless album is hard to imagine", said Down Beat in 1975. "On The Jewel In The Lotus, the sound is supreme, and all the players strive to achieve a thorough blending".

"The Jewel In The Lotus (Touchstones)" is a landmark jazz album by Bennie Maupin, released in 1974 and now reissued on CD by ECM Records. This recording stands out for its atmospheric soundscapes and innovative blend of post-bop, avant-garde, and spiritual jazz elements. Featuring an all-star lineup including Herbie Hancock, Buster Williams, Billy Hart, Charles Sullivan, Frederick Waits, Bill Summers, and Michael White, the album is celebrated for its subtle interplay and meditative mood. Bennie Maupin is renowned as a multi-instrumentalist who has contributed to classic albums like Miles Davis's "Bitches Brew" and Herbie Hancock's "Head Hunters." His work bridges genres with creativity and depth. ECM Records is known worldwide for its high-quality productions in jazz and classical music since 1969; their catalog includes influential artists such as Keith Jarrett and Jan Garbarek.
