Way Out East
Way Out East is Playlunch saxophonist Andre Lew’s debut project, merging jazz tradition with modern trap. Australian-born with Hong Kong heritage, his virtuosic saxophone over hard-hitting beats creates performances that are spiritual, visceral, and transformative — honoring his Chinese lineage while inviting audiences to connect with the raw energy of his music.

Max König
The saxophonist cuts a towering figure, swaying back and forth, threading a mystical tapestry of ornamentations, blowing rapid fire, stream-of-consciousness improvisations.”
Drawing inspiration from jazz giants and Arabic, Turkish and klezmer music, Max König and his first class band are a unique sound, sight and spirit to behold.
