A rare visit and performance in Denver with the international Jazz Legend Bennie Maupin. He has performed and recorded with Herbie Hancock (Mwandishi band, Headhunters band), Miles Davis, McCoy Tyner, Chic Corea, Lee Morgan, Woody Shaw, Horace Silver, Freddie Hubbard, Sonny Rollins and many more! This will be Bennie's second only Dazzle performance – one night, two shows. This is the second time Bennie has been in as part of the "Joe Anderies presents" series. Joe, a long time reed player and music educator in Colorado, will be presenting his newest and favorite quartet as the back up for Bennie. This group has recently had several sold out appearances in the front range and is looking forward to this unique and colorful collaboration with one of the great jazz icons of our time. The music for these two shows will feature original music of Bennie's along with highlight pieces from the Headhunters group. In addition the group will feature several original compositions arranged for this special occasion by Joe. Don't miss this explosive night of music!

Bennie Maupin is best known for his atmospheric bass clarinet playing on Mile Davis' classic "Bitches Brew" album as well as other Miles Davis recordings "Big Fun", "Jack Johnson", and "On the Corner".
