MAX HAYMER
Since 2015, Max Haymer has been touring and performing extensively with Grammy Award Winner and trumpet legend, Arturo Sandoval, playing at such places as the Blue Note NYC/Tokyo/Beijing, Newport Jazz Festival, Vancouver Jazz Festival, Teatro Opera de Buenos Aires, Sala Sao Paolo, Focsani Blues Fest, Gazarte Athens, Detroit Jazz Festival, Ronnie Scott’s, Jazz Alley, Blues Alley, Yoshi’s Oakland, and Disney Hall.  You can currently catch Haymer on the road with Sandoval, where they are playing around the world. Haymer was the featured pianist on Arturo Sandoval’s scores for Clint Eastwood’s films, The Mule and Richard Jewell. Haymer is also the pianist on Sandoval’s newest Grammy-Nominated album, Rhythm & Soul.

In 2019, Haymer recorded a 2-night live album at LA’s Sam First Bar, which was later compiled and released as WHIRLWIND: Live at Sam First. The album was released to critical acclaim and has been listened to by audiences in 148 countries. To date, this album is the perfect window to peer into Haymer’s current writing style, playing, and artistry. Since the pandemic, he has been able to and still tours this album with his trio nation-wide.

Haymer spent most of 2020 performing remote shows with vocalist Jane Monheit, cultivating a new musical relationship that has blossomed into a stellar partnership. This partnership has now blossomed into duo and quartet shows that have been performed nationwide at Blue Note Hawaii, Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, Yoshi’s Oakland, SF Jazz, Jazz TX, LIBRETTO, Jazz Alley, and the Purple Room Palm Springs. Haymer played and arranged for Monheit’s most recent album, The Merriest.
