What started as a school band from the south of Munich has become one of Germany’s outstanding jazz bands. Max.bab are Max von Mosch (saxophone), Attila Muehl (guitar), Benedikt Jahnel (piano), Marc Muellbauer (bass) and Andi Haberl (drums). The core of the band has played together since childhood and has found a very special way of musical understanding: beyond soloistic showing off, always with an ear for the overall sound.
More than four hundred concerts, performances with Charlie Mariano, Wolfgang Muthspiel and David Friedman, appearances at JazzBaltica and the Montreal Jazz Festival and nine albums tell this story, most recently “Human Intent” (2025).
