Katalyst - Nine LivesNine Lives grips with the energy of infinite possibility and digs in with a drive that sets it apart a forward propulsion that reflects the very movement of the Los Angeles jazz scene itself. Conceived solely on an improv basis, the album represents a highlight reel of two months of Sunday jam sessions that Katalyst spent together at their home base in Inglewood, California.
