Zeng Zeng | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Max Zenger is a saxophonist and woodwind specialist who plays in various groups as a leader and sideman. He is comfortable playing and writing music in a variety of settings. Zenger’s style fuses elements from old and new jazz, influences of world music and adventurous improvisation.
