"Jewel in the lotus" is a "Fusion" classic (in the Bitches-Brew-sense of the word) on the level of records like John McLaughlin's "My Goal's Beyond" or Wayne Shorter's "Odyssey of Iska". Sadly neither Maupin nor this album gained the fame other personnel from Miles Davis early-70s received around that time.
The record hasn't seen a repress or CD release so far, maybe because it doesn't fit ECM's corporate identity sound pretty much. I hope it will see light of day soon again. It more than deserves it.
