Along with my friend and section partner, trumpeter Julio Diaz, we've played on and arranged horn sessions for hundreds of artists. We've played countless live shows together and sound like a real section (not just whoever was available that day).

We've played and recorded with:
The Mavericks, Desmond Child, Ricky Martin, Little Big Town, The Afro Cuban All-Stars, Frankie Valli, Julio Iglesias, Sir Cliff Richards, Brendan Benson, Marc Anthony, Dara Maclean, Big and Rich, Kid Rock, Luke Byran, Lionel Richie, Ben Rector, Celia Cruz, The Royal Southern Brotherhood, Jeff Cohen, Colbie Caillat, Dave Barnes, James Slater, Randy Houser, Jake Owen, and Yo-Yo Ma. We have appeared on the Grammy Awards, The Voice, Good Morning America, The Tonight Show, Conan, Late Night with Seth Meyers, PBS Great Performances, and the CMA, CMT, ACM, and AMA awards.

Third time I had the opportunity to work with Max, and probably not the last one. Great professional.
check_circleVerifiedMax and his mates overdelivered with superb New Orleans horn parts to give my track the authentic Cajun flavoring it needed. I dropped a few names of musical influences, he intuited precisely what I needed and executed flawlessly and tastefully with clear respect for the other parts and the overall vision.
check_circleVerifiedMax you guys are awesome!!!

I have just worked with Max for the second time. He's very reactive, enthuastic and attentive to the pitch he receives. A real pleasure to work with him.
check_circleVerifiedI've worked with Max three or four times over the past few years. He's a talented horn player who has brought some interesting new colors to my tracks. Would definitely work with him again.

An absolute pleasure! Quality engineering, musicality, and communication. Delivered above expectations!
check_circleVerifiedMax delivered exactly what I needed — a wonderful horn arrangement to fill out my song, adding some texture, depth and melody. He delivered when promised, and I couldn't be happier with the result. Look forward to working again together in the future

Max did a great job of finding the right places in my demo track to add some horns to fatten the sound. He also added a little spice with a cool solo. Super quick turnaround too. Highly recommended.

Just awesome.

check_circleVerifiedI’m so grateful to have met Max! He is a consummate professional. He transformed one of my tracks with AAMOS incredibly arranged and performed horn track. The tracks sounded great and the project was delivered well before his expected deadline. Can’t wait to work with him again!

Max is my go-to for horns. You simply will not find anyone better to lay down stellar horns. A total pro!

Wow Max and Julio are real pros. I gave them a basic outline for a song and they came up with a great part that was exactly what the song called for. Each horn was recorded perfectly too so they were so easy to mix. Max was a great communicator too. Highly recommend.

FANTASTIC! Max is a genuine person first and foremost. He was helpful and encouraging and did a knock out job on the horns! Max went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the end results. I will be using him again.

Max killed it on my song. Great sounds, great playing, great ear. And he turned everything around super fast within my timeline and in my budget. Total pro.
