He is probably best-known for his membership in Herbie Hancock 's ''Mwandishi'' sextet and Headhunters band, and for performing on Miles Davis 's seminal Fusion record, '' Bitches Brew ''. Maupin has collaborated with Horace Silver , Roy Haynes and many others. He has also performed on several Meat Beat Manifesto albums. He is noted for having a very harmonically-advanced, "out" improvisation style, while having a different sense of melodic direction than other "out" Jazz musicians such as Eric Dolphy . As a composer, he has a unique ability to create brief melodies and song forms that manage to create vast landscapes for improvisation. DISCOGRAPHY As a Leader
