Max Schlenk Quintet
Click the play button to listen
Many students come for a time and move on to other pastures but some, like Max Schlenk, kick the tires on larger markets but choose to make their way back, and we're better for it when they do.
The last time saxophonist Max Schlenk was featured on this program he was a student at Oberlin leading an Octet. Six years and one sojourn to New York later, Max is back and he makes his home here in Northeast Ohio now as a bandleader and educator.
This quintet performance features some of Max's favorites along with a number of original compositions. Featuring Garret Folger on trumpet, Tim Picard on guitar, Jordan McBride on bass, Jeremy McCabe on drums and Max on saxophones, and from an April 11th, 2025 performance, Daniel Peck is your host for the Max Schlenk Quintet... Live at the Bop Stop.
