Bruce Katz Band - Transformation

[Transformation] is steeped in the same kind of gritty soul but also incorporates darker bits of mistrioso intrigue and a few avant-gardish twists along the way... Katz is a talented, multi-directional cat with a lot of music inside of him. 

"...Consisting of all originals, Katz plays piano on seven of the tracks and Hammond B-3 organ on the other three. It has more of an avant-garde approach than its predecessor, Crescent Crawl, and its successor, Mississippi Moan. It has everything from a stride shuffle ("Larry the Spinning Poodle") to New Orleans grooves ("But Now I See") to deep jazzy blues ("The Sweeper" and "Deep Pockets")..."
