David Maxwell's Maximum Blues September 18, 2010

David Maxwell has amassed an enormous resume throughout the years playing piano with some of the greatest, well- known musicians in the blues. David plays many styles of blues, jazz and improvised music, but he is best known for his soulful virtuosity and unmatched ability to reach the heart of post-war Chicago Blues. Through his work, he has gained the respect of artists, critics and fans and has established a reputation as one of the finest blues pianists alive. David has performed in major festivals, theaters and clubs in North America, Europe, Scandinavia, Morocco, Israel, and Japan, and keeps busy today playing, recording, and teaching (and nurturing his interests in jazz, ethnic and improvised music). He continues to be a Touring Band Member with Freddie King, James Cotton, Jimmy Rogers, Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters, Bonnie Raitt, Otis Rush, and Hubert Sumlin.

“I don’t think anybody could be tighter playing the blues on the piano than David Maxwell. He plays the blues like it should be played. He plays the low-down, dirty, funky blues. He’s got it all together.”
- John Lee Hooker

“Dave has always been one of the most amazing piano players I’ve ever heard. Maximum Blues Piano showcases all of his strengths and is a great ride.” -Bonnie Raitt

“David Maxwell plays with fire and soul. He keeps the spirit of Otis Spann alive.” -James Cotton
