About Max Simpson

The recital’s six-piece lineup places Simpson’s bass and writing with saxophones, trumpet, guitar, and drums. His artist video channel preserves pieces from that program, including “Industrialism Not Available” and “Too Fine Dining,” with composition and personnel credits.[1][2][3]
