What others are saying…

"His alto timbre sits in a lineage exemplified by past giants like Jackie McLean and Eric Dolphy, and by such latter-day players as Arthur Blythe and Steve Slagle."
- Neil Tesser (album liner notes)

"Drawing inspiration from the great alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett, Maxwell’s tone and sense of time are captivating. Tending to focus on melody rather than chops or complex harmonic ideas, his lines mix creativity with intellect in a manner that is both engaging and intellectually challenging."
- Mathew Warnok (All About Jazz)

"Maxwells growth as a player is breathtaking - his Kenny Garrett-inspired tone and long lines a fresh change from the usual alto player’s approach to burn at all times and leave no space. Maxwell shreds and well when it is appropriate."
- Brad Walseth (Jazzchicago.net)
