Maxophone were an Italian progressive rock band from Milan.

Maxophone first came together in 1973, but only ever released one self-titled album in 1975. However, there are two different versions of the album, the original Italian language version and an English language release which the band had hoped would be more successful commercially, thus opening themselves up to a wider audience.

Maxophone disbanded soon after the albums release, and despite the album becoming an artistic and critical success[citation needed], they did not reform.

Maxophone have since acquired a minor cult following that has endured for over three decades, long after their short career had ended.[citation needed]
