Max von Mosch
recently recorded album “Black Périgord” is the most ambitious of his musical projects and it demonstrates his talent not only as a saxophonist but also as a composer. The album comprises originals written for a ten-piece jazz orchestra and features New York based musicians such as Greg Gisbert, Xavier Davis, Michael Dease, Robin Eubanks, and Gene Jackson. The album was being released in May 2011.

Another important project of his is the quartet max.bab, a band Max has been touring and recording with for over ten years now. The most recent of six records was released on the German label ACT-music. While touring mainly in Germany the band has also been invited to renown festivals such as the Montreal Jazzfestival and JazzBaltica. Recently they have been sent on tour in Kazakhstan (2010) and in South-East-Asia (2011) by the Goethe-Institute.

In 2008 received a two years scholarship by the German Exchange service to study at the New England Conservatory Boston (U.S.A.) where he will soon graduate with a Doctoral of Musical Arts degree. During his studies at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, the Manhattan School New York, and the New England Conservatory Max studied with well-known musicians such as Ferdinand Povl, George Garzone, Dick Oatts, Miguel Zenon, and Billy Hart. In 2005 he was rewarded the Günther-Klinge Cultural Award of his hometown Gauting, near Munich (Germany).
