ev Katz is a New Yorker and a bass player of vast experience. He's been playing bass with some of the world's finest musicians for 32 years. His credits are a 'Who's who' of the finest singers, songwriters and composers of the past thirty years. The list is impressive: Aretha Franklin, James Taylor, Elton John, Annie Lennox, Donald Fagen, Dr John, Suzanne Vega, Ennio Morricone, Elmer Bernstein and, of course, Bryan Ferry and now Roxy Music.

Zev and his family have been living in Battersea, South London while he works the UK side of the Atlantic.

His precise, fluent and yet under-stated style meshes superbly with the driving drumming of TGPT and the subtle percussion of Julia Thornton. Every night on the tour, his flawless playing has helped propel the band forward to new musical heights, his playing the heartbeat of a great band.
