Max plays banjo. Be assured, you've never heard the banjo like this before: Straight-up rock 'n roll (Prince of Peace), heartbreaking ballads (This River), cinematic mood-setters (The Black Riders, Fleck in Transit), funky takes on old fiddle music (Mon's Groove, Cattle in the Gravy) - with grace and ease Max's banjo seduces all of these styles, and finds its place straight in their heart. The backdrop for this musical fusion is unmistakably America - its result true Americana as seen through the eyes of a European expatriate. For his first outing as a solo artist MAX has assembled a stellar cast of musicians: Saxophone-legend David Sanborn British Pop-Icon Rick Astley, Yellowjacket Jimmy Haslip, Elton John-guitar player Davey Johnstone, Cellist Martin Tillman, fiddler Gabe Witcher, multi-instrumentalist Jonas Krag, drummer Hilary Jones, harmonica-master Jimmy Z., EVI-player Judd Miller - all contributed to an eclectic and electrifying musical experience.
