Music with Character

Max Frank Music is a boutique label devoted to recordings with character: expressive performances, imaginative arrangements, and music made to be heard again and again.

The catalog primarily showcases the work of composer, arranger, producer, and educator Terry Vosbein, alongside exceptional artists and ensembles including the Vosbein Magee Big Band, the Knoxville Jazz Orchestra, guitarist Royce Campbell, saxophonist Tom Artwick, trombonist Tom Lundberg, violinist Jasper Wood, and pianist David Riley.

Our releases move freely between jazz and classical music. You’ll find big-band explorations of Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd, timeless French songs recast for jazz ensemble, original compositions, classic film and television themes, progressive jazz, elegant violin-and-piano repertoire, and holiday favorites with a fresh point of view.

Each CD documents a distinctive musical collaboration—often recorded live—and reflects a belief that fine writing and committed performance belong together. From the first note to the final solo, these recordings celebrate melody, color, swing, craft, and the joy of musicians making music together.

Max Frank Music sells physical compact discs for listeners who value a complete album experience: the artwork, liner notes, sound, and stories that make a recording worth keeping.
