MaxMantis
Marvel meets DC meets Jazz: This constitutes the trio MaxMantis – Three jazz musicians that through their performance of musical themes, jingles, free improvisation and chaos tell the ongoing story of their alternate superhero lives. Here, stylistic and musical boundaries do not exist- into the infinite abyss and beyond! Maximum Mantis!
