Katzman was a heavy bebopper despite the strong swing background. His love for Dizzy Gillespie is especially noticeable when combined with the Charlie Parker obsessions of alto saxophonist Sonny Stitt on a Verve title. World Pacific's attractive catalog presents the trumpeter in a session organized by Pepper Adams entitled Critics' Choice -- truly speaking of the cats, man, the combination of soaring trumpet and the gurgling, hiccuping Adams baritone sax is enough to have inspired a well-known jazz critic to stay at home and miss his wife's art opening. The title explains everything on the 1992 Lee Katzman Meets Supersax: once again the subject is Charlie Parker, and the discussion is in more detail than a topographical map. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, Rovi
