What Musicians and Press Say About Bruce: "He can play jazz, blues, Bach, anything. Man, he's a heavy!" - Gregg Allman "This man is as good as it gets. One of the greatest keyboard artists I've ever heard" - John Hammond “Now, that’s a piano player! - Pinetop Perkins “I’ve rarely heard anyone so at home with their instrument and so authoritative in such a wide range of styles. Extraordinary comes to mind. Katz’ command of his instrument ranges from casual to brutal, providing every shade of emotion that a full band could elicit from any listener.” - Tom O’Connor, Rock and Blues Muse Review “Katz has a broad musical intellect of a very high order...a true individualist, he unleashes perfectly turned phrases that travel through blues, boogie-woogie, stride, spirituals, New Orleans R&B, Ramsey Lewis soul-jazz and even a country waltz.” - DownBeat magazine “I marvel at not only his dexterity, but his feeling and soul...the spirit of New Orleans seem to shine on everything Katz plays...”transcendently wonderful...” -Goldmine magazine “All the foundational elements of jazz and blues piano are here with the signature Katz touch. Katz is in top form, again demonstrating why he is so highly acclaimed in the roots and blues genres.” -Jim Hynes, Glide Magazine
