Don Byron Plays the Music of Mickey Katz is an album by clarinetist Don Byron featuring music associated with comedian and musician Mickey Katz which was released on the Nonesuch label in 1993.
[1] The Allmusic review by Bob Tarte stated "Playing Katz's songs demands prodigious chops, hence the attraction of Katz to molecule-splitting clarinetist Don Byron, who demonstrates nerve presenting Katz the monologist as the equal of Katz the composer.
In sum, convoluted, kaleidoscopic silliness topped with Byron's usual dazzling self".
[2] "I was staggered, bewildered, touched and moved," was the reaction of actor-director Joel Grey, the son of Mickey Katz.
