MEET MAX AND ANGIE WIRJO!
Both originally from Indonesia, the ultimate power couple and owners of Maxan Jazz Club have the authentic stories that brought them to this amazing point in time, where they started one of the best jazz clubs in Las Vegas!
Max moved to the United States in 1982 to pursue a career in medicine. He initially started at Mt. Sinai Hospital, then relocated to Los Angeles, where he eventually became the Director of Integrated Pain Medicine with the Kaiser Foundation. Angie, a championship badminton player, met Max in the United States in 2004 at the US Open, where they fell in love and married only a year later!
Both Max and Angie LOVE to travel to experience unique cuisines and listen to live music whenever possible. Upon Max’s retirement in 2012, they decided to make the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas, their final home to enjoy retirement and explore the next phase of their life together.
Soon after, Max had his first venture into owning a jazz club! He traveled back to his home country of Indonesia and opened Max Jazz at the D Club, featuring live jazz music nightly, performed by the absolute best musicians and performers from Surabaya and Jakarta as well as many international artists gracing its stage. In 2019, Max began negotiations to open a 2nd club in Bali; however, the pandemic in 2020 changed their plans.
Max and Angie found themselves back in Las Vegas and soon realized it was the perfect spot for their next club right. This time, however, they knew they wanted to do something different. In addition to showcasing the best of the best in jazz, blues, and Latin-styled music, locally and traveling musicians, they also wanted to provide an intimate and delicious dining experience. Believing strongly that the food they serve should be exquisite, Max sought out the absolute best former Nobu sushi Chefs in Las Vegas to help curate the best menu around!
When it came to naming this new Las Vegas establishment, Max originally wished for his original club’s name, Max Jazz; however, they soon discovered it belonged to a record label within the United States and pivoted to combining their names; thus, “Maxan Jazz” was born!
