What Musicians and Press Say About Bruce:

"Bruce has a groove that is as deep as the Grand Canyon and as wide as the Amazon...and fingers full of fire. Whether on Piano orHammond he tears it up and rocks it out." Chuck Leavell
Rolling Stones Musical Director.

"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...”
