Summary
Jazz musician Bennie Maupin, born in Detroit on this day in 1940, famously declined Miles Davis's offer to join his band in 1970, having already committed to trumpeter Lee Morgan. Despite this, Maupin later collaborated with Davis on four albums, including the iconic Bitches Brew. Known for his work with Sonny Rollins and Herbie Hancock, Maupin has also released six solo albums, including The Jewel in the Lotus.
