Max Wild

Artist Description

Zimbabwean saxophonist Max Wild has just released Tamba, his riveting full-length debut on ObliqSound that blurs the lines between jazz, funk and Afropop and features the late singer/guitarist Sam Mtukudzi mbira-star Chiwoniso. In Shona -- the predominant language spoken in Zimbabwe -- Tamba means "dance," and it's virtually impossible to be within listening distance of this music and not comply. Wild's music fuses the rhythmic and melodic traditions of southern Africa with the sophisticated harmonies and inspired improvisation at the core of contemporary jazz. Joining Wild for the first time will be the brilliantly talented South African vocalist Selloane , who also features on Broadway in The Lion King. At this NYC record release party to showcase material from Tamba, Wild and his band are guaranteed to deliver an ecstatic, intensely kinetic celebration that bridges cultural and stylistic divides while keeping feet on the move.
