4.0 out of 5 stars Deeper Blue by the Bruce Katz Band, April 10, 2008

Deeper Blue is an excellent continuation of Bruce Katz' keyboard style. His phrasing is one of the elements i like best, with emphatic stops to change the mood of the songs. I liked the low repetitive organ base in one of the songs (Greasy Sticks i believe) - a little reminiscent of Booker T. And i like his interaction with some fine lead guitar. This album is more blues oriented, but still has jazz references i find refreshing.

Great music with some outstanding musical talent.

The Blues is played on the Hammond B3 as it should be and Katz's piano playing is outstanding. The guitarist is phenomenal and along with the drums and base playing in sink one wonders how it would have been live.

If you enjoy the Hammond with some great guitar, great blues with a bit of jazz overtones in some sets, this is a great CD.

This review is from: Deeper Blue (Audio CD)

I am a blues musician and a PURIST which means that my idea of the blues is a tad old-fashioned. You baby boomer blues fanatics and musicians know what I mean. Bruce Katz is very gifted but young and he is adulterating the real blues into something else. He does what all the younger "blues" musicians are doing now-bastardizing it with jazz inflections. I flinched every time he would get jazzy. Jazz and blues are two entirely different genres. That is controversial but simply what I believe. I thought that this CD would be pure blues but it's not. Too bad....he is really talented. He needs to leave the old time REAL blues alone and just do the new age jazz instead of mixing it up and advertising this CD as a blues CD.
