MAX OCHS:
Max Ochs was a key figure in the reinvention of the steel-string guitar when he was part of the hugely influential Takoma LP, “Contemporary Guitar Spring ‘67,” alongside tracks by John Fahey, Robbie Basho and Harry Taussig. Though Fahey became the best known of this group, they all pioneered ways of opening up old blues and country tunes with a new improvisational freedom. Ochs has pursued his low-profile, high-achievement career ever since, running the 333 Coffeehouse in Annapolis for many years and releasing a number of albums. His profile rose significantly in recent years when Tompkins Square Records chose Ochs’ composition, “Imaginational Anthem,” as the title track of a compilation of new guitar music, as influential in its own way as its Takoma predecessor. Last year, Tompkins Square released Ochs’ own album, “Hooray For Another Day,” featuring a new take on Fahey’s arrangement of “In Christ There Is No East or West” and the spoken-word poem, “Phil,” written for Max’s cousin, the late folk legend Phil Ochs.

GEOFFREY HIMES:
Max Ochs served the Annapolis community for nearly four decades with Anne Arundel County’s anti-poverty agency, as well as the A.A. Conflict Resolution Center. He also taught World History in high school. He believes that “it is better to practice a little than to talk a lot”. He majored in Philosophy at University of Maryland and received a Masters in Humanities from St. John’s in Annapolis.
A “primitive American” guitarist with several recordings, Max still enjoys performing in public. He and his wife Suzanne enjoy being with their nine grandchildren.

Sunday Supper & Jazz w/ The Kristen Callahan Trio
2017-11-19 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Halifax)
Everyone who has heard Kristin Callahan agrees, her voice is fresh, vibrant. She’s a vocalist to watch for years to come. From her tender ballads to her flawless execution of even the most challenging pieces, Callahan exudes charm and elegance. Kristin has been singing since she could speak, and was fortunate to have her church and school communities recognize her talent and encourage her to develop it over the years. Kristin has remained committed to developing her skill and style, exploring different genres, until at last she discovered a love for jazz. In 2009, she recorded her first jazz album, which she titled “A New Love” to express her newfound passion for the genre.
Today, Kristin is fully focused on her art, mesmerizing listeners with a contribution to jazz that is entirely her own. She has continued recording and performing with several accomplished musicians, and released her second album in 2013, entitled “One Magic Day,” and had the honor of recording with some of her favorite musicians, vibraphonist Warren Wolf and bassist Eric Wheeler. Marianne Matheny-Katz of The Baltimore Jazz Alliance said of the album, “this is a very romantic collection of fourteen songs that speak of deep emotion (especially love) and the magic of everyday experience, all presented in Callahan’s clear, soothing voice and straightforward style… Callahan’s voice, at times, contains aspects of Jane Monheit’s along with an occasional breathiness reminiscent of Astrud Gilberto, but she has her own distinct voice and point of view.”
Performing throughout the East Coast, she attracts many of the finest recording, touring and teaching artists to join her onstage. Kristin is currently working on a new album that continues the theme of exploring love in all its facets, both the light and the dark sides, with touches of humor and joy that Kristin has discovered through her own experiences. The album, entitled “A Burning Kiss,” marks a different direction from previous albums, incorporating nontraditional rhythms and world instruments, while remaining true to her jazz roots.
