"He can play jazz, blues, Bach, anything, man, he's a heavy!"
- Gregg Allman, 2007
"Bruce Katz is a spectacular talent! He's a brilliant composer and arranger who uses uncommon and unique musical intelligence to redefine jazz and blues far beyond the pale of the accepted definitions of keyboard competence. Whether on piano or organ, when you hear Bruce Katz you know it's him, unmistakably and uniquely."
- Larry Coryell, 2006
"This man is as good as it gets. One of the greatest keyboard artists I've ever heard"
- John Hammond
In addition to performing, Katz teaches piano, Hammond organ and theory at the Berklee College of Music in Boston and teaches the first ever in-depth blues history/analysis course there as well. He also conducts Master Classes in Hammond B3 and Blues History, which he has done at various music festivals worldwide.
