THE MAX JOHNSON TRIO with Neta Raanan (tenor saxophone), and Jeff Davis (drums), for an evening of rare classics by Jimmy Garrison, Charles Mingus, Charles Tolliver, Thelonious Monk as well as the debut of some original compositions.
Described as “an intrepid composer, architect of sound and beast of the bass...” (Brad Cohan, NYC Jazz Record) composer-bassist Max Johnson creates complex worlds of sound, challenging his listeners to engage deeply and be rewarded with an experience always crafted with love, care, and clarity. With nine albums and over two thousand concerts internationally with artists like Anthony Braxton, Mary Halvorson, Tyshawn Sorey, John Zorn, and Mivos Quartet, Johnson brings a wild energy and excitement. He will be in residence at Barbès most Saturdays in April with a different lineup.
“Max Johnson is one of the most prolific and versatile musician/composers in music today” (Brad Cohan, New York City Jazz Record)
