“Beautiful… #chills”

— Ann Powers of NPR Music 

Max Hatt / Edda Glass have "an incomparable spook” and a "unique sound" (Nashville Scene and NPR’s Larry Groce) that's taken them across the country from NPR and PBS to NYC's Lincoln Center, DC's Kennedy Center, and the Sundance Film Festival. Praised for her "impeccable vocal command" (PopMatters) and compared to a gamut of singers, Glass's voice is ultimately "one of a kind...you cannot confuse her with another artist" (New York Theatre Guide). Their award-winning original music and mesmerizing reinventions of the Great American Songbook and Brazilian classics create a swoon-inducing soundscape of voice and guitar that is both epic and intimate, making one feel "both lost and found, all at once" (New York Theater Guide). If we live in uneasy times, this music is both a reflection and antidote, an escape that is really a healing-in-place.

"Subtly poignant, elegantly funky, and haunting without trying to be" 

— Nels Cline, Wilco

"Unique voices and rare musicians"

—Eric Funk, MT-PBS host and internationally renowned composer


"This Jazz Americana duo portrays true elegance."



"Max Hatt/Edda Glass create exquisite, evocative music as they journey through the landscape of jazz and folk with Hatt's atmospheric guitar playing and the landscape of the West with Glass's literate lyrics."

— John Platt of WFUV


“…like hand-printed photographs that speak and sway, the material is hypnotic…" 

— Lizz Wright

“Mesmerizing… cinematic folk-jazz”

— ASCAP’s Playback Magazine at Sundance Film Festival

"Max Hatt’s tone has an incomparable spook...Edda Glass’ primal singing and skywide-on-a-stormy-night lyrics left me breathless. " 

— Nicole Atkins, Nashville Scene 

“I was mesmerized from the first moment I heard them. They have the ability to create a deep sonic landscape with only voice and guitar, with songs that posses a mysterious and soulful magic"  

— Pat Sansone (Wilco)


Max Hatt and Edda Glass ... are constantly, bravely reinventing themselves... pioneering more deeply into original material, music that I can say without reservation will be substantive and important. [...] Many are the musicians who adhere more closely to the mainstream, aligning their original music with that which has a track record of being entertaining. Few are those who insist that original music is an art, avoid the commodity and immediate gratification that comes from creating that which has proven to be sellable. I am always inspired by visionary charismatics who possess both the courage and the perseverance to pursue their art against the odds, trusting that their labors are not in vain. Max Hatt and Edda Glass are unique voices and rare musicians.

— Eric Funk, PBS host and internationally renowned composer


“Their lyrics/ instrumentals encapsulate the confusing sentiment of feeling both lost and found, all at once…This album is for those that want to hear a song that tells them it is okay to be human, and that you are not alone in not knowing what that exactly means”

— New York Theater Guide

"an exemplification in the beauty of contemplation"

— PopMatters

“Brimming with soul and steeped with lush, mellow melodies, Ocean of Birds captures a moment in time and releases it in one lovely breath. “

— That Mag

— Yes Weekly, John Adamian
