Maulawi
Maulawi Nururdin's Maulawi at its roots, shines and glows with the same crackling energy as predecessors like Sun Ra, Muddy Waters and the Art Ensemble of Chicago. Nururdin, himself is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and band leader.
Maulawi grew up in Chicago and was part of the great heritage of Chicago music that ranged from the electric blues of Muddy Waters, the straight ahead jazz of Ahmad Jamal, through to the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Sun Ra, Anthony Braxton and other members of the avant-garde royalty.
As a saxophonist he was also part of the tradition of great Chicago horn-players that includes Gene Ammons, Eddie Harris, Johnny Griffin and many more.
Maulawi had led his own group since the 1960s and a number of young musicians came up through his group – Billy Greenfield, Jack DeJohnette, Jerome Cooper and Adam Rudolph.
Maulawi was a multi-instrumentalist and bandleader and although he specialised on saxophones, also played oboe, piano, drums and more. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
