“Internationally acclaimed guitarist-composer Brian Katz is delighted to present selections from his first completely solo guitar CD, Leaves Will Speak, an intimate yet “orchestral” journey featuring his trademark evocative compositions and perky free improvisations informed by the worlds of jazz, classical and various world music streams, particularly Klezmer. Musideum has—amongst an array of many wonderful instruments—a gorgeous Bechstein grand piano, and Brian is pleased to offer some piano selections for this concert too. (Of “Leaves Will Speak”): “If you want music that speaks – here it is” Alexander Schmitz, Jazz Podium Magazine, Germany, May 2014
