Fred Katz was a concert cellist who found recognition through Chico Hamilton's quintet, and full-blown, open-minded freedom from his jazz transfusion. Katz's work in Zen is indicative of his immersion in jazz, without the sacrifice of classical background and desires. They indicate his intense interest and the broad concepts he brought to bear on creating modern music.
The CD ends with the quintet performing Concerto of Jazz Themes, an extended improvisation of several of their own themes composed for the soundtrack of the movie "Sweet Smell of Success." The resulting music is a beautifully integrated composition conceived in free concerto form, which allows each of the individuals in the group great freedom for expression in the group's atonal and polytonal framework.
Fred Katz
Active Decades: '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s
Born: Feb 25, 1919 in New York, NY
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Modern Creative, Cool, Third Stream
Fred Katz's cello playing with the Chico Hamilton Quintet during 1955-1958 was largely responsible for the popular cool jazz group's unique sound and atmospheric style. Katz was classically trained (he had studied with Pablo Casals) and worked in orchestras, but also played piano. In the early '50s, he accompanied several singers, including Lena Horne and Tony Bennett. While with Hamilton, Katz also recorded several albums of his own for Pacific Jazz, Decca, and Warner Bros. (1956-1958). After leaving Chico (with whom he recorded one final set in 1959), Katz mostly worked outside of jazz, both in classical music and as a professor in anthropology. In 1989, he was part of a Chico Hamilton Quintet reunion, recording for Soul Note and showing that he was still a masterful musician.
