I've always thought that Bitches Brew (the whole album) requires a lot of repetitions as it is so dense, a beautiful but challenging work. I have consistently thought, since first purchasing it in college 35+ years ago when it first came out, that the bass clarinet work of Maupin really "frames" the work of Miles, Joe Zawinul, John McLaughlin, Wayne Shorter, et al. If anything, it is the interplay of Maupin on bass clarinet and McLaughlin on guitar that sets the "tone" of the album against which Miles and Wayne Shorter play.
