"My Dream Of Being Clickbait For Jazz Funk Feature Has Like Totally Come True!" - Bikini Girl

You know who Bennie Maupin is, so you don't need me copying any screed from an internet pretending I wrote it just to provide "content". Fuck that, right? What you're interested is what bikini influencer N'bandu-Smurfette Veeblefetzer [19 my ass - Ed.] has to say about the famed reedsman's work.

N-SV What's his name again?

FT3 Bennie Maupin

N-SV [makes sour face] He's, like, a singer?

FT3 Okayyyy! We're done here! [tape ends]

Back to Bennie. Today's showy blooms plucked from the dewy garden of music are these here swell albums by Monsieur Maupin:

First recording from 1967 [left - Ed.], rare original cover from University of California Berklee library copy. Hoo hah! Like, totally nobody borrowed it! Surprisingly sweet album.

Meditative, but be prepared for disconcerting interludes of jazz skronk.

 

Moonscapes will get the most ingrained funk out of your face.

Relatively rare and absurdly swell album. Hotcha!

The Headhunters first album not only features an award-winningly shit cover but also the HEAD-FRYINGLY FANTASTIC guitar of the criminally under-recorded Blackbyrd McKnight (also on Slow Traffic).
