• TMax Trio - Perhaps it’s his personality that draws in the audience – easy-going, soulful, with a big heart. And perhaps that’s why he refers to his music as “heart and soul.” Because it doesn’t fit into any one style – it’s born of blues and jazz and pop and folk and a dozen other genres – but it’s more than the sum of its influences. It’s music from the heart. Music from the soul.
