Thanks to Orgy in Rhythm for this great post !!!Bennie Maupin takes comparatively contemporary looks at his pair of contributions to Herbie Hancock's Crossings and is joined by two fellow and key vets of that session: Eddie Henderson and Dr. Pat Gleeson. (Also on board: Patrice Rushen, Blackbird McKnight, Ralph Armstrong.) A barely recognizable "Water Torture" is tightened from 14 to five minutes, anchored by a pliant rhythm. "Quasar," the finale, isn't as drastically overhauled but is made to sound more like a theme. Much of this is due to the change in Gleeson's role. On Crossings, his synthesizer interjections are delivered as effect-like enhancements; here, his machines hurl a vein-melting crescendo of synthesized strings that double with actual strings. Like Maupin's other two '70s albums, Jewel in the Lotus (ECM) and Moondreams (Mercury), Slow Traffic to the Right has never been released on CD

thanks, anyway...
Have you heard the newly released Bennie Maupin album "Early Reflections"? It just came out. Many of the tracks sound like a modern ECM (excellent sound). Some of them really evoke that "Mwandishi vibe" that you are mining on this blog. Particularly check out his remake of "The Jewell in the Lotus". It is great!
You expect Eddie Henderson to show up any time (he doesn't). Bennie is in fine form.
Keep going with your great blog!
