“I have had the pleasure of working with Maxx in two different scenarios. Maxx was PD of V103 when I was Direcotr of Sales. Maxx was a great colleague to partner with as he was always open to creative solutions that could enable the station to grow profit and ratings. He was pasionate and disciplined about our product but would readily collaborate and think beyond the obvious to find solutions for our clients. Just a great and productive team player. When I was VP of Branded Entertainment for LRSmedia and we were marketing The Legends Of Jazz with Ramsey Lewis, Maxx worked closley with me on devloping ideas to expand the circle of awarenesss with XM's jazz channels. He embraced our project as though it was his own and integrated some wonderful marketing ideas into the XM programmong as we launched our new public televsion series. Maxx is a unique broadcaster in our very competitive buisness.. He has tremendous integrity and balance in his approach to his work and colleagues ..and life in general, He is warm, caring and has a keen sense of humor which just adds to the package. I would highly recommend Maxx to any prospective employer.”

“I write to communicate my unconditional support for Maxx Myrick as a broadcast professional without peer. By education, experience, intellect and temperament, Mr. Myrick is eminently qualified to encumber any executive, production or creative position in broadcasting that requires expert knowledge of the performance arts, particularly music of the jazz and blues genres. Quite frankly, Maxx is possessed of an abundance of creative energy and uncommon intelligence. His eclectic experiences delivering top-quality programming across multiple communications platforms position him among the top tier of broadcast professionals in contemporary radio. Maxx consistently earns high marks among peers for his personal integrity, his respect for alternative viewpoints, his self-confidence, his fundamental sense of fair play, and for his superior grasp of the subtleties and nuances that drive the rapidly evolving modern media world. Moreover, his always pleasant, cheerful demeanor helps him to negotiate consensus out of potential calamity in contentious situations. I have observed Maxx at work during his frequent interactions with students and community groups interested in jazz, particularly at the Nashville Jazz Workshop here in Tennessee. He quickly commanded enormous respect for his energetic voluntarism and for his willingness to share his knowledge of music with the young lions who are the future of the jazz genre. In my view, anyone with an opportunity to ofer in the broadcast communications industry would be fortunate to attract Maxx's interest. You would be hard pressed to identify anywhere in America another person able to top -- or even match -- his superior qualifications or his track record. And, finally, Maxx Myrick is a totally decent human being whom anyone, like me, would be uncommonly proud to call colleague or, especially, friend. Sincerely, John H. Britton, Jr. Special Assistant to the President Meharry Medical College Nashville, Tennessee ”

Jamillah A. Muhammad, Asst Program Director/Music Director/WVAZ, Clear Channel

“Maxx Myrick was already a successful, award-winning broadcaster when he joined fledgling XM Satellite Radio as one of our original Program Directors. By design, we hired only impassioned fans to helm our music channels. Maxx was that and so much more. Stepping outside his main area of programming experience, Maxx eagerly took on responsibility for creating our REAL JAZZ channel from scratch. In doing so, Maxx provided XM and our listeners with an incredible array of passionate and intelligent entertainment. The depth of his knowledge about music in general and mainstream jazz in particular was always refreshing, often illuminating and clearly an expression of his love for this unique contribution to our country's culture. American icon Quincy Jones regularly singled out Maxx’s REAL JAZZ channel as the most impressive jazz music channel in American radio. We couldn’t have agreed more.”

“Maxx Myrick was a driving force at XM satellite radio during the time that he was there. His good taste in jazz and music, his affable personality, his on-air style, and general friendly attitude made him a pleasure to listen to and to know. We will miss him when we tune into satellite radio and we are just glad that he will remain a friend and colleague. Lenore Raphael”

“I know Maxx through his work as Program Director and DJ at XM Satellite Radio's Real Jazz station. Maxx is a first rate radio programmer who really cares about the music and the musicians. I witnessed this first hand at the 2007 IAJE conference in New York where Maxx worked hard to accomodate many musicians who were there, giving interviews, playing their music and helping to promote the spirit of the event. In fact, I was so impressed with the level of his work at XM that it encouraged me to finally go out and purchase an XM Radio!”
