Max De Aloe

**Max De Aloe** is an Italian chromatic harmonica virtuoso and composer who’s carved out a unique space in contemporary jazz and genre-blurring music. Known for his lyrical phrasing and inventive approach, De Aloe blends jazz tradition with cinematic textures, often weaving in elements of folk, classical, and experimental sounds. His recent releases—like the introspective *Sospiri sospesi*, the lively *Mutamenti (Live in Miniera)*, and the Monk-inspired *Melodic Monk*—showcase his versatility, balancing intricate improvisation with melodic storytelling. Whether reimagining standards or crafting originals, his work feels both intimate and expansive.

A frequent collaborator, De Aloe thrives in live settings (check out *Road Movie*’s atmospheric energy) and isn’t afraid to infuse his Italian roots into projects like *Una Lunga Storia D’Amore* or *Una Notte Di Coprifuoco*. His harmonica becomes a voice that’s equally at home whispering ballads or navigating complex jazz harmonies, making him a standout figure in Europe’s vibrant improv scene.
