Known for his innovative vision and storytelling versatility, Max has collaborated with many of the most influential figures in music and popular culture. He recently released his first novel Sasq'et, which is available in stores now.

The first part of their conversation explores the relationship between the Beatles and the evolution of popular music as a whole, & the cultural zeitgeists surrounding that shaped their legacy. They get into the importance of production nuance and how it typically takes an entire team of varied expertise to create art with a lasting cultural legacy. Jay & Max discuss the impacts that these moments in time have had in shaping their own careers & trajectories. Don't miss this conversation, only on The Jay Jay French Connection: Beyond the Music!
