An underground experimental jazz artist.
Max Jaffe (JOBS, Dave Harrington/Max Jaffe/Patrick Shiroishi, Steph Richards’ Power Vibe, formerly of Elder Ones, Leverage Models, and many more) wasn’t planning on creating an album commemorating the decade-plus he spent living in New York City while recording Reduction of Man. Operating as a preemptive elegy, Reduction of Man traces Jaffe’s musical trajectory while in New York City. Jaffe’s second “solo” album finds him at the helm of an ensemble - leading the project as he plays: one hand drumming, the other composing and editing on the fly, shepherding multiple musical voices towards a single end - a sinewy tension between noise and groove.
Max Jaffe plays experimental jazz and electroacoustic music, often incorporating the Sensory Percussion system to create dynamic and improvisational soundscapes, as heard on his album "Reduction of Man."
