Bruce Katz Band Mississippi Moan XRCD24

The Bruce Katz Band performs a dozen tunes with special guest Mighty Sam McClain joining in for vocals on the tracks "Jackalope Bar-B-Q" and "I'm Gonna Love You".
Bruce Katz can play 'soul-jazz' on the Hammond B3 as easily as he plays 1930's style stride piano or the meanest slow blues. He is able to create his own style of instrumental music from blues, jazz, rock, soul and Americana.
Bruce has the honor of being nominated in 2008, 2009, and 2010 for the Blues Music Award for "Pinetop Perkins Piano Player of the Year", selected by the Blues Foundation.
The tracks on this pure analog recording were recorded live direct to two track using Studer A-80 2Track. It was mastered utilizing JVC K2-24bit AD Converter with Digital K2, Rubidium clock.
