David Maxwell has amassed an enormous resume throughout the years playing keyboards with some of the greatest and most well-known musicians in the blues, including John Lee Hooker, Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy, Freddie King, Muddy Waters, James Cotton, Hubert Sumlin and Otis Rush, among others.

For the Regattabar, Maxwell has put together a blistering blues lineup:
Nicole Nelson (www.myspace.com/nicolenelson: “Magnificent!" Maya Angelou") – vocals;
Sax Gordon (www.myspace.com/saxgordon: "...raw, rippin' and rockin'." Jazz Times) -- tenor sax;
Kevin Barry (www.myspace.com/kevincbarry) -- guitar;
Marty Ballou (Duke Robillard, John Hammond, Jr.) – bass;
Per Hanson (Ronnie Earl) – drums

Maxwell is often compared to the great blues pianist Otis Spann (of the Muddy Waters band), for his ability to resurrect the spirit and sound of the master of post-war Chicago Blues Piano. But Maxwell is no mere imitation. He has created a style and sound uniquely his own. His diverse experience, technical virtuosity, sense of timing and rhythm, and ability to complement other band members has earned Maxwell a reputation as one of the finest blues pianists alive. On 4/20/06, David Maxwell was featured on "On Point," hosted by Anthony Brooks. Give it a listen at www.onpointradio.org/shows/2006/04/20060420_b_main.asp.

"Dave has always been one of the
most amazing piano players I've ever heard."
(Bonnie Raitt)
