What musicians and critics are saying:

“This man is as good as it gets. One of the greatest keyboard artists I've ever heard”
— John Hammond
“Bruce Katz 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 or Hammond he tears it up and rocks it out.”
— Chuck Leavell, Allman Brothers keyboardist, Rolling Stones Musical Director
“Now, that’s a piano player!”
— Pinetop Perkins
“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
“Back In Boston Live sees the ridiculously talented keyboard player and his band return to his former hometown and give a master class on 'how it's done’. Well recorded and spectacularly played, Back In Boston Live is one of the highlights of the year in ANY genre.”
— John Kerrieff, GO Magazine, Toronto
“Back In Boston Live is proof that the Bruce Katz Band provides a common meeting ground for rockers, bluesers, jazzsers, jammers, and hipsters alike.”
