Max Ehrhardt is a Oakland based trumpet player and educator dedicated to spreading music and creativity into the Bay-Area community. Growing up in programs like Oaktown Jazz Workshops and earning his undergraduate degree at the University of the Pacific under the instruction of Joe Mazzaferro, Max has accumulated a wealth of musical experience spanning multiple genres and styles.
Drawing influence from Hard Bop players such as Lee Morgan, Blue Mitchell, and Freddie Hubbard as well as Funk and Soul artists like Bill Withers and Earth, Wind, and Fire, Max shares his love of many different styles and genres of music.
One of Max’s projects is the creation of The Lakeshore Collective which represents the growing and inclusive community of Bay Area musicians. As an ever changing ensemble of artists and band members, they showcase the unique talents and collaborative personalities of all Bay-Area musicians.
