Max’s debut solo album Odes / Codes was written in 2020 and reflects the contemplative feeling of that year, capturing moods of melancholy, nostalgia, longing, and hopefulness. Produced by Jayme Stone, it features 14 exquisite compositions, one of which is a banjo duet with Jayme, but all others are solo: banjo, guitar or piano. It’s is an example of a new way of thinking for the banjo and how it fits in non bluegrass music.
