In addition to his concert appearances with an eclectic array of ensembles, Max is proud of the outstanding reputation he has earned as a professional church musician. Called upon as the principal brass soloist for numerous churches and known for his incredible sense of the situation and having the adaptability in timbre, style, and occasion. Equally comfortable on trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn, and piccolo trumpet, his knowledge of musical genres and his experience playing in lots of situations from R&B bands to symphony orchestras has given him the versatility to play the right thing at the right time.
Along with his duties in GBO, Max also plays principal trumpet for the Oratorio Society of New Jersey, Ars Musica Chorale, Glen Ridge Oratorio Society, and holds the trumpet chair in Chico Mendoza’s Latin Jazztet. He also frequents the horn section of the phenomenal cover band, Daddy Pop.
