Mapenzi is an album by The Harold Land/Blue Mitchell Quintet recorded in 1977 and released on the Concord label.

AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow:
This Concord release was tenor saxophonist Harold Land’s first as a leader in a decade, although he had co-led many sessions in the interim with vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson. Starting in 1975, Land and trumpeter Blue Mitchell worked regularly in a quintet up until Mitchell’s death in 1979, but this album was just about their only joint recording. With keyboardist Kirk Lightsey, bassist Reggie Johnson, and drummer Al “Tootie” Heath offering solid support, the group performs four originals by Land (including the title cut and “Rapture”), two songs by Lightsey, and Mitchell’s “Blue Silver.” Fusion may have been the dominant force at the time, but despite Lightsey doubling on electric piano, this is an excellent example of 1977 hard bop (https://goo.gl/nWGFAw).
