Bruce Katz Band – Mississippi Moan (XRCD24)

The Bruce Katz Band may be known only to blues insiders, but a surprising number of music lovers will have heard the organist and pianist of Ronnie Earl and Mighty Sam McClain many times, and his energetic playing with massive use of the bass lines has many followers. The entire band lives the blues and as a guest vocalist we hear Mighty Sam McClain.

This album was recorded completely analogue and classically live to two track without overdubs and recordings in separate rooms. This gives the impression of a musical community of the blues with phenomenal spatial imaging and enormous swing. The absolute tip for all who enjoy earthy sound in the home system and for all those who want to know how close the home speakers can really come to a Hammond B3.

Band:
Bruce Katz – piano and Hammond B3
Julien Kasper – guitar
Tom Hall – tenor and barritone saxophone
Mark Poniatowski – bass
Ralph Rosen – drums
Mike Costello – harmonica

We recommend the use of „L’Art du Son” CD/DVD conditioner for even more sonic improvement.
